WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Dear friend,

I hope this little message finds you well and creating peace within that ripples beyond the edges of your being out into our world that is aching.

I want to have something to say

I want my words to be balm,

to ease deep divisions and help heal horrendous pain

But as I sit here,

with this deep desire

to love the world in big

and bold

and beautiful

ways,

I can’t

I can’t

seem to find words

to soothe even my own heart

When I don’t know what to do,

and everything around me

and within me

is throbbing

Like a pounding heartbeat

Through an open wound

I sit

Still

I breathe

Consciously

I listen

Intentionally

I give myself permission

To feel

Everything

And within that space,

I hope

I trust

That out of the darkness,

Light will rise

A tiny flicker

A spark

That which is innate,

Within

Me

Within

You

Which is light,

Which is love,

Ever-present

Though sometimes

Neglected

Or forgotten

Will be remembered

Reclaimed

Restored

And set free

When our

Little love lights meet

All that is

impossible

dissolves

in our common radiance.

To letting love and light be our guides illuminating, empowering, and inspiring our hearts, our minds, our actions, our words, our whole broken selves, and our world.

Always, Dawn
