January 2019: Trailblazing

January
2019

trailblazing.
setting free the wild heart.
breaking old structures.
paving a new way.

I’m asking you to visit

the parts of you that seek acceptance,

that thrive on comfortability,

that continue to meet the status quo

despite feeling like a square peg in a round hole.

Ask yourself:

Is the very world you try so hard to fit into

one that you even want to live in?

In a society where anxiety, imbalance, violence, dis-ease, distress,
and a limited capacity to dream
has become the norm-

I choose to not fit into that template.

Why are we so afraid of doing things differently
when we also want change?

Let’s choose to occupy a different space-

Celebrating differences,
embracing new ideas,
taking breaths of fresh air.

Seek company with the movers and shakers.
The rebels with vision,
the stirrers of the pot-
who choose vulnerability, risk, and innovation
over the confinement of any comfort zone.

Return to the wilderness
of your heart.

Allow it to take you
into the new world coming.
