Dear Hajer,
Allow life to break you open
To crack you, shatter you, feel you
Guard your heart and release it to the wilderness of earth
Protect your soul and surrender to the seasons of the forest
Allow life to break you open
Accept the cracking, shattering, feeling
This strange awkward unsettling music is for you, dance!
This electrifying, terrifying, freeing melody is yours, sing!
Allow life to break you open
To settle you down from the panic, to sing you sweetly to sleep, to gently nudge you awake
The child within you is safe and sound (and silly) and at play, play!
The adult within you is wise and in control (and true) and at peace, peace!
Allow life to break you open
To show you all its dizzying, unending and limitless capacity to hold you and contain you and embrace you and free you
Unfold your hands and breathe in the wisdom of the seeds and the vines and the trees
Nothing is yours and then everything is yours
(Eat and own with discernment)
You and I are here only for a moment,
too short or too long of a moment,
too big or too small of a moment,
too sweet or too bitter of a moment,
too good or too bad of a moment
but a moment.
Allow life to break you open
Let the wind, the sun, the earth, the fire in
Allow life to break you open
Allow life to be life within
Allow life to open
