LET’S SPEAK TO WHAT’S REAL

This is a prayer
for those who are willing to see
& those who are willing to feel.

I see you. I feel you. I hold you.

Let’s speak to what’s real.

The mess. The ick. The shame.
The spiky edges.
The discomfort.

“Who are you?”
swiftly followed by
“… and who am I?”

Let’s talk Truth, not about it.

We don’t need to dance with it.

It’s already dancing with us.
For us. Through us.

It knows us deeply.

It LOVES us.

Can you feel it?

Let’s speak to what’s real
& let it soften us.

I’m not religious.

And every single day, I pray for us all.

Let’s speak to what’s real.

Let’s say what needs to be said.
Let’s do what needs to be done.

You have my respect, admiration & support.
