Mind can take us there

But look at everything that is here

The wind blows and it tickles my skin

My dog's heartbeat beats over my leg 

And my heart grows fonder of this closeness

With her

I've spent too long forgetting what is most valuable

Yet it no longer matters 

All that matters is this silence amongst the trees

All that matters is the love in my heart for everything I see

I feel love in my heart for anything that inside feels pain

I hold pain in my head when I think of things that create worry and fear

But I look at it

I observe

With love

Everything is worth my love

My love comes from beyond me

Beyond this 5'5" feminine personality

I'm beyond the hair and nails

And muscles and skin

I'm beyond the beliefs inside that came 

From people telling me who I am and who I'm not

I'm beyond the many ways I choose to spend my days

How can it be any more perfect that what is now

I look at life and I look at death

And I'm starting to see not much of a difference

For our true hearts and our true spirit has no death

We just change our clothes

Sometimes put new socks on

Sometimes we take The old ones off

And within all that

Is the life inside of whatever is going on 

And whatever appears

This peace inside is priceless

It is the deep ocean within the stormy night

It is the deep ocean within the challenging waves

It is what allows everything to be

And watches it lovingly

Like the moon

And the stars

They care less of our drama

They care more to shine and keep shining bright

So that we can see ourselves through them

We've always been bright

Just hidden under the clouds and storms

We are awakening 

And connecting

And realizing

And appreciating all the angels in our path along our way

Yes

A 5'5" little person I no longer am

And more and more become connected to the source of my being

Of your being

Of our beingness

And wonder
