I know the dark calls to you sometimes, but you turn your face from the light.

I know you walk down roads, you know, you shouldn't.

Walk into places your heart is gently urging you not to.

I know you see your habits and long to change them.

I know you are tired of your worn out ways of being, tired of reliving patterns and choosing

painful choices.

I know you feel hollow at times, like life is escaping you, dancing in front of you,

but out of your reach somehow.

I know it hurts to live in the disconnect between what you are currently experiencing and what

you know exists outside of you, beautifully without effort.

I know how much it hurts to live there in the divide between what you feel you are and

what you wish you could be.

I know you have tasted the sun on your skin and inhaled with complete trust and that

you two at times find it hard to move without knowing what's next.

At a time's life feels paralyzing.

I know you work so hard to control the outcome of your life that you forget to breathe sometimes.

That you live in the shallow end, that you forget to go deep, breathe deep.

That you forget to meet yourself in the quiet and breathe yourself full again.

That you forget there is a well of abundance and trust within you, that you forget to go

there for fear of losing control.

I know there are places within yourself that you do not love, the parts you try to wrestle

away.
