Courage

You were never lost
you knew
the distance was never
between you and yourself
the distance was between
knowing
and choosing
so you stood for a long time
on the riverbank
watching the water
knowing exactly
which shore called to you
knowing exactly
what crossing it would require
and perhaps courage
is not the discovery
of a new continent
perhaps courage
is simply
to stop saying
that you do not know
when you do
to stop calling it uncertainty
when it is consequence
to stop waiting
for permission
from a world
that cannot grant it
you were never lost
only standing at the edge
of a life you always recognized
learning
slowly
that knowing the way
and taking it
are not the same thing

Shall we

Quartz, Jade, Morganite, Aquamarine, Rubellite, Laser Quartz and Moonstone

Let’s talk about the stars

the flowers

the way you think the world is unfolding

the friendships that wither

the love that grows more deeply than ever

the roads that travel to nowhere and everywhere at once

the pain, the hurt, the agony

the hope that still endures

the mess

the stress

the strangeness of life

the beauty of living

the mirror and the unknown reflection

the weight of existence

the lightness of being

or shall we simply sit beside each other

and just

breathe

Not every path lit
leads where the soul is meant to wander
not every treasure carried
belongs in your hands
not every orbit is a promise
you are meant to follow
meaningful is a hidden doorway
a quiet alignment
of distant things that suddenly feel near
it is starlight arriving late
yet landing exactly where it was needed
the feeling that something ancient
has whispered your name
it is the meeting that feels foretold
the truth that glimmers beneath appearances
the quiet knowing that appears
without explanation
meaningful is the enchantment that finds you
when you are brave enough to follow wonder
it is the hush between constellations
the moment a scattered life
recognizes its own pattern in the dark
meaningful is not brightness alone
it is gravity and glow
learning to agree for a breath of time
it is the long arc of things becoming themselves
a river that never asks permission to reach the sea
a seed that trusts unseen seasons
a heart that learns it was never separate
from the distance it feared
it is the unseen architecture of connection
how one honest moment
changes the shape of everything after it
how a single act of truth
echoes farther than intention can follow
meaningful is not owned
it is entered
like standing beneath an open sky
and realizing the sky was never above you
it was always around you
through you
without boundary or end
and you were always part of it all
being of the greatest meaning

Something in the air is undoing old spells
with quiet enchantment
what once clung to you like a vow
begins to loosen
threads of invisible binding
unraveling at your fingertips
there comes a season
when old armor grows heavy
because the war it was forged for
has already ended
you walk through days that feel slightly unreal
as though the world has been repainted while you slept
it is as if something sacred has begun
rearranging the landscape of your life
you are no longer being asked to carry everything
only what answers when you call it by its true name
and in that narrowing
something vast begins to breathe
a deeper magic gathers
ancient
exact
unhurried
it does not ask you to become more
it asks you to become true
and as you shed what no longer recognizes you
something immense stirs awake at your center
a quiet power
returning from exile
remembering it was only waiting
the spell is not upon you anymore
it is you
