Let Your Life Speak




Let Your Life Speak

even if
it is not what you want
to hear
let your life speak
mine for your greatest glories
do not be reluctant to gamble
do not be dispirited
            steward kindness
            take solace in beauty  
be the more loving one
radiate wisdom          
            castoff conformity
have
the courage to let yourself
            be
let your life speak
            open your big heart
you
are worthy of wonder,  joy
& deep aliveness
            let your life speak

I woke up this morning smiling. I can’t tell you the last time that happened. I slept well, my dreams were pleasant, and I was outside early enough to watch midnight’s stars fade into the cool blue daylight. To celebrate my teeny tiny emotional victory, I wrote a hopeful poem. That felt good too.

In propinquity,
Nic

  1. Thank you, Beanie. This is a bright spark in my dismal, daylight-savings mood. I so appreciate sharing your joy via this profound yet simple poem. I - love - it.
