I am at peace with the cyclical nature of my life.
When shadows from within arise,
I give them room to breathe.
I hang them up like cloth in the summer sun and shake out their dust.
I care for them with understanding,
Compassion,
And tenderness.
I see the parts of myself that are shameful,
Isolated,
Or fearful as places within me that are craving connection.
I give shame permission to be seen and fall away back into the darkness,
To be molded into something more tender,
More honest.
I give myself permission to let go of patterns that once made me feel cozy and safe,
But are now holding me back from the next chapter of my life.
I let what wants to go,
Go.
I let what wants to come,
Come.
I am an ever-changing being guided by love.
I send love to the places within me that feel constricted or narrow.
I allow myself to be vulnerable with the ones I love and those who wish to see me thrive.
I let go of the need to do it all by myself.
I push off the wall and step out onto the sacred dance floor even when I know none of the moves.
I let myself picture the best case scenario.
I get honest about what it is I truly desire in my life.
I close my eyes and feel into what it would be like to hold those experiences with open palms.
I imagine moonlight pouring in through the top of my head,
Illuminating,
Softening,
Widening and soothing my entire mind,
Body,
And spirit as it travels down my body.
I give thanks to the darkness.
I give thanks to the light.
I am,
I am,
I am at peace with all of it.
