pause
breathe in
be still
breathe out
listen
breathe in
notice
breathe out
what
deep
desire
seeded
in your heart
is waiting
to be born
through you
*repeat practice as needed,
identifying deep desire may
take time

the dream is
beloved
community
we are called
to imagine it
and live into it
not to achieve it
for the dream
is not a
to do item
on some checklist
somewhere
the dream is
a way of being
with each other
in the world
the dream is
realized in our
living of it
may it be so

liberate love
don’t
hold it in
let it
flow
through
you
like the
life force
it is
pure
positive
energy
creating
creation

minutes
that last
for hours
and hours
that pass
in a moment
years of
yesterdays
that show up
unexpectedly
today
tomorrows
that never
arrive
seasons passing
in the span
of a split
second
all we have to live
is the ever present
now
by nadine j. smet weiss

every given day
bring your best self
and release that
into the world
the world needs
the gift of you
being true
to you

listen
closely
to the whisper
of your heart
re minding you
to re member
who you are
essential link
in a sacred chain
of being
blessed
