Things aren’t always what they seem.

there might be a stranger
you pass on the street who says
something that resonates so deeply

The magic you seek might be in unsuspected places.

a dose of good
old fashioned let-down,
disappointment, and heartbreak.

You know…the kind that empties
you, breaks you down, cracks you open
to MORE of your bare naked
truth and beauty.
(If you let it.)

it also includes the shadows, the dark
nights, and the growing

deeper, wider, balanced, and more
expansive
