Deep Winter
“beneath
the thoughts and feelings
you have worn
on your shoulders
for so long,
there is the real you
who is worthy of the freedom
from what darkness said
you would be.
you are more than what you feel
you are more than what you think,
yes, this things matter,
but they do not mean everything.
there is still
open space
deep within
the present moment
to let these old things go
and just be
for sometime,
knowing that you are so much more
than what is heavy on your mind.”
This is my beloved friend, Kourtni, deciding to embrace what’s good despite a difficult year. Deep winter is good for this- making tea, being cozy, and feeling lovely in your own skin.
