Moments.
Moments can make us.
Moments can break us.
It's in this moment that I see so much opportunity.
An opportunity to grow by letting go of what I know that is around me.
An opportunity to grow and let go of the things that I know.
It's in this moment that I can feel paralyzed,
Looking at everything that I see with these eyes,
Not knowing where to place things,
What things to keep,
And what things to push out that door.
But I know that having more means having less.
Less is more.
Because less things is more life,
More experiences.
Less is a world of thriving.
And I do not want to be pushed down.
I want to be lifted up by the space I am in.
Wherever that is,
Here or there,
It doesn't matter.
Because in my space I want the freedom to express my heart,
My creative heart.
So when I choose to let go,
I'm choosing to be free.
I'm choosing to be the me that I was created to be.
Not under the weight of this and that,
But here,
Open.
That is what I want.
For my heart and my dreams and my wonder to soar,
To be zealous,
To live life for more than just me.
I aspire to inspire those around me,
Those in my community,
Those in the world that can't even see me,
And those that will never meet me.
Because we are still connected.
We are part of a whole.
And it is my goal,
And I hope it is yours too,
To come together from wherever you are,
Wherever you've been,
Wherever you are going in this world that we live in,
To join our energies,
To join our strife,
To lift each other up in the darkest night,
To be there to rejoice and to celebrate all things good.
And to celebrate those things that we never thought we would,
But we can and we should.
Because the dark times are what bring us together.
And we can go far when we realize this together.
And we hold the hands and hold hearts and we hold space and we are a part of this community.
So that is why I am saying today that my space matters.
And so does yours.
The space in our minds and the space with our bodies,
The space with our things,
Holding space allows for freedom to grow.
Freedom in your soul and freedom to give to others in this community.
Let go.
Let go.
And know that you are free to let go and be free.
