We are alive. 

Breathing in all that nourishes us, and brings us tall and into bloom, with vibrant flower and broad leaf. 

We are alive.

Breathing out all of our offerings, releasing seeds, beauty, and even debris to decay and nourish the next. 

We are alive in this process. This is the way of the living.

We allow.

Opening our pores and hearts and eyes and ears to receive life. 

We allow. 

Releasing our gifts and grief, loving kindness and grief, joy and grief. 

Grief is our goodbye to what was; the reality and the dream. 

We love. 

We accept and embrace being alive. 

We love. 

We sense and presence with all experiences. 

Love is being fully alive and changing in each moment.

With grace.

Emily, thank you for honoring life with your luminosity, receptivity, presence and grace.
