We’re all just children of the universe. When I say just,
I don’t mean to belittle the role. There is stardust
running through our veins. Our mind a galaxy of wonders.
Yet we’re so caught in the stagnant beliefs and standards
of living we think we need. Our bodies grow up,
and we abandon the spirit of the child living within;
yearning to play, sing, discover, jump, climb,
dance, create… who told you to leave that joy behind,
to hide your true beauty, to diminish your light?
And to exchange it for what?
There is endless power within you,
to relive your past and rewrite
your emotional signature. To heal
and be stronger than before; to let
the light shine through the cracks;
to explore the hidden caves of your
own heart, for you don’t know
the depths of it; to feel all the colours
that reside in there; to let go
of your demons and let
the butterflies loose… and breathe
the future in.
