on this day...

as you open your heart to all that is to come,

may you always remember that beauty is waiting inside this moment

may your mind rest in the space you create with each breath

may you trust compassion when facing uncertainty

may your spirit feel the lightness of truth and love 

yes

yes

yes

for you

in this moment,

i send you sitting inside grief

and you feeling alone

and you believing it will shift

and you choosing joy

and you wishing for something else

and you grasping at the edge of hope

and you holding life

and you who thought it would be different

and you needing to exhale

and you praying for rain

and you seeking a life raft

and you hoping to forget

and you knowing it is time

and you wanting to dance in the beauty

in this moment,

i send you light and love

and a moment to remember that you

(yes you)

are enough
