the final session.

thank you.
thank you
for entrusting me.
for letting me in.
for allowing me
to walk alongside you
through the sacred process
of witnessing,
tending to,
and gently befriending
your wounds.

and through that process,
for allowing me to be
whoever,
whatever
you needed me to be
at different moments
along your healing journey.
and for this work
to serve as a means,
a catalyst,
for whatever it was meant to become
for your healing.
for your continued evolution.
for your highest good.

and now,
as we prepare to say goodbye,
i invite the continued release of me
and the continued growth of you,
while acknowledging the pain
inherent in letting go.

yet within that pain,
we remember that ache marks
the presence of something
meaningful.
valued.
cherished.
and that,
that is a beautiful thing.

so we give thanks
for what was created here.
in this space.
in this time,
together.
and bow our heads
to one another.
honoring the mystery
of our paths intersecting
in the first place,
and the ways
our lives were allowed to cross.
whether for moments
great or small.

we recognize
the choice of presence
we both made
and honor any movement.
any healing.
any progress that was made,
while also acknowledging
the work that still remains.

and then,
through the courageous act
of surrender,
rooted in the practice
of non-attachment,
we open to whatever
the space beyond
may bring.

with all of its uncertainties
and unknowns.
we meet it with faith.
with belief
in your strength.
in your path.
as you place one foot
in front of the other.

this does not mean
we do not reflect,
remember,
recall.
of course we do,
but we do so
with gratitude,
while keeping our eyes
on the road ahead.
the road before you.
asking the question
that has aways lived
at the heart of this work.

what work is there left to do.
