"Motion Forward"

 

A moment of recollection...

Causes the mind to pause...

Because there will come a time when you believe everything is finished

But reality always makes itself known...

That this is just another beginning within life...

We all have an archive of memories that we can no longer touch

Like a museum of history in humanity...

From every yesterday and all the tomorrow's that follow

We realize that we cannot live a single day without having an impact on the world around us

Either we make the difference, become the difference, or decide to be the difference in change

Pay attention to action...

Hear what it not said, and see the clarification in definition that may or may not follow

Most people want something from you...

The best people bring something out of you

While a select few only try to steal something from within...

You are not a reflection of those people who cannot see you

How you treat others is how they will respond or act...

You cannot expect peace while causing chaos and pain

Like the full moon shining, beauty can come from darkness...

Own who you are and what you wish for yourself

Never downplay the care that you have for your being

Your passion creates your perception

Anchor your feet upon this path before you

Because like a seed planted deep attempting its greatest expression

You must allow yourself to grow beyond what use to be

Blooming towards the light of hope given and taken

By speaking your truth you will come to know your worth in effort made

Allow the motion forward to carry you...

It will embrace you with the freedom found within

Validating this journey you are taking all on your own.

"Silence in Voices"

 

Realize the moment taken...

Exhale the breath held...

Close your eyes to the vision seen

Speak to the best version of you possible

Understand that this is who you really are

And let go of the part of you that doesn't believe it to be true...

You won't see it for what it is, until you stop seeing it for what it is not...

We are all pieces of the places we have been

From love to loss...

And happiness and pain...

We are beings stitched together by experiences and memories

Just because you have your times of struggle, does not mean you are lost

We are the lesson lived...

Because no amount of regret will alter the past

Second guessing doubt will not stop tomorrow from coming

Only the perspective of change will create your today

Embrace your authentic self...

Release the expectation of your being from beneath others image of you

We are what we give it...

The best apology only comes when behavior is changed...

Deny excess to those who continue to trespass across our boundary lines

Realize that silence always speaks in voices kept still

Ask for accountability in action

Let your intentions be known

Separate the difference given

The light and dark...

And the shaded truth...

Every yesterday has prepared you to live in this moment

Having hope within change is the most important part of trust

Existence within this world is you

Fanning the flame of inspiration

Keeps hope guiding you through

Because healing yourself is the most beautiful, yet challenging journey you will ever be on.

"Hope Allowed"

Time moves us...

Greeting the day at dawn with a new horizon...

And we begin...

Today is not yesterday, and tomorrow has yet to be

Because the purpose of this life is not to simply endure it

We do stumble and fall...

Then we have the right and ability to rise and flourish again

Life is existence in experience from all the moments

And learning can be just as hard as unlearning...

When we allow ourselves to understand the difference

And just maybe, it is admitting that things do fall apart...

Because a day in this life can be hard to plan

But know this, beyond any doubt, the pieces do remain after...

And no one has the right to dictate how you put them back together again

Shame should never be given in the middle of a struggle simply because you are human...

Giving the permission to your being to rebuild yourself is the power of hope allowed

Oddly enough, this pain can give you strength...

It sheds a new light upon reality, bringing awareness to your blessings...

Offering the courage to detach the anchor to the conformity of others

Be this compass of change that you seek...

Clear your vision forward...

Acknowledge that some people unfortunately play the victim to the crimes they have committed

And that you are not responsible for their choices or point of view

Because sadly, you will lose some people along the road to discovery and healing

They tend to be the people who only identified with the broken version of you

Or even benefited from it...

Knowing the contrast between then and now is a choice taken...

It is proof that you are growing beyond that which use to hold you still

Because at the end of it all... or even at the beginning...

It is okay to set the heavy weight down

You don't always have to be so strong

Release the expectation...

Catch your breath...

You deserve this moment to remember

That regardless of it all...

You are still you underneath it all.

"Here We Are"

 

Pause...

Embrace the thought...

All within the minutes collected through the years...

That just like nature, life has its seasons in motion

And we are here...

Standing amongst the history leading us to now

Every day comes with two gifts

Choice and chance...

It is never too late or too early to be who you want to be

Be brave...

And say this is not who or where I want to be

Then allow the change to be you

Understand the difference in perspective

Because the existence of shadows...

Also means the presence of light...

Don't waste your time with worry

Use your energy to believe in you

Defy the definition of perfection

It is us who give it meaning...

And maybe it's not a place in destination or something to be

Maybe it's to exist within the vibrant moments of connections made

All within the reality of time that flashes between us...

The past is only a brief reflection within a lesson

Embrace yourself with independence

Life is steps forward...

Reality embraces the next horizon

Surrender yesterday...

Freedom from the ugliness of the world always awaits with tomorrow

When beauty is realized within the calming peace

Of releasing all that which no longer serves your being well.
