Lighten Up
Eyes, heart,
mind, cells
open wider and wider.
Flexible, changing
frontier becomes
more and more
true and trustworthy.
Sinking and settling
into a precious body,
beautiful just as it is
in the here and now.
Antiquated perceptions
that one must strive to receive love,
must somehow earn the right to heal
release, steadily melt away.
Moments of, “OH!”, blips of freedom
expand and saturate.
Sensations of revival
that feel right and good,
but will take time
to more fully incorporate.
Intrepid, courageous exploration
has paved the way
to understand that the pressure to ‘earn’
came from a deep and barricaded place.
But the freedom, the lightening,
comes from an even deeper,
more expansive
place of knowing –
where the light shines through,
always has.
It most definitely is time to
allow the canards to crumble,
honor the hues of healing,
and lovingly
lighten up.
