wanting, and deeply grateful.

i want and i am grateful.

a counterbalanced equation.

opening to the heart’s desire.
inhabiting expansiveness.
giving ourselves permission
to name,
to give voice to
our innermost yearnings,

while acknowledging
the gifts that have carried us along the way.
the ones that kept us afloat,
buoyant through stormy seas.

a spirit of appreciation.
bowing to all that has sustained,
nourished,
and guided us here.

i want and i am grateful.

an adventure inward.
attuning to what speaks without boundary,
without limit.
curious about where we might land
as we make our way through the brush.
releasing the need to know the way,
placing our trust in the unfolding.

a search held in tandem
with a deep-seated thank you
for the ground beneath our feet

a gentle grace,
an honoring of the great and small,
of all that has lifted us
along the way.

i want and i am grateful.

the freedom to tread untraversed terrain,
open to whatever reveals itself.
open arms.
open mind.
open heart.

allowing whatever surfaces to breathe,
to simply be.

adopting the playfulness of a child
running wild through the fields of the heart,
paying no mind to how it appears.

embodying a kind of un-self-consciousness,
running,
leaping,
jumping.

fully immersed in possibility,
conjuring realities near and far.

all the while held in the warmth
of a quiet thanksgiving,
arms wrapped around all that loves and holds,
all that has ever loved and held.

sunlight on skin.
resting.
content.

holding our wants,
our dreams,
our visions
in pure presence.
in pure love.

wanting,
and deeply grateful.
