17 days

A lot can happen in 17 days
People will be born
People will die
Children will learn new skills
And adults will change a habit
Two people could fall in love
Or even fall apart

I guess, objectively, 17 days
Is not such a long time
Just two weeks of work
And 3 weekends

People can keep busy
They can reflect and relax
They can see new things
And grow to appreciate old ones
It's just enough time to get used to something
Or to decide it won't do at all

And so I wait for your return
And whatever it may bring
I'm preparing myself for anything
And soothing feelings of longing
Here in the in-between

But what I know won't alter
Is the feeling deep within
The one I'm afraid to utter
The one that can't be seen
And I allow the smallest piece of me to hope
That deep within you there's another such immovable thing.

Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
