This morning, I realized…

This morning, I realized…

I have space for the whole world in my little heart…
My words can move across the waters…
My love can touch the people and puppies I miss so much…
All carried on an eternal wind.

This is so different from my shielded heart…
Where I feel separated from the great chain of being…
A babel of growling, barking and confusion…
Reaching singularly up to the sky.

But it doesn’t have to be that way….

Come on! The caravan is beginning to move…
Let’s join the great pilgrimage…
It is time to get dirty!
And turn like flowers towards the sun.

Oh, what it must be like to live an unguarded life…
Like a warm copper color from a fireplace glow…
Like putting on the universe to go out and play…
Everything, right out in the clear, blue, open.

My eyes can’t stand anymore light than this…
Every moment, a new surprise…
I do a cursory spin…
Yep, my little heart is big enough for it all.

I love you,

Annie
