What if all along
She was never wrong
For wanting more,
For leaving the shore
And choosing to dive deeper,
For longing to see herself whole
Despite the forces that collude
And collide and control

When everything goes wrong
She looks for what is right
Between the lines
The messages and clues
That divulge her why
And deliver her from despair
In the face of a world in need

The energy is chaotic and churning right now, like something is right below the surface.
Do you feel it?
It’s like trying to walk in a pool.
It would be easy to just float. And sometimes that’s the answer.
Sometimes floating is so needed.
And sometimes, we still need to find a way to move forward.
To be able to find the “why” in all the “why nots”.
For those who can’t.
For those who don’t have the luxury to just float.
Maybe that’s how we keep our own selves above water.
How are you finding what’s your right when surrounded by what feels wrong?
