Poem: The Pulpit

Heart pounding...
Excitement!
Fear...
Keep Going!
Hold on...
But I wanted this!
Adrenaline pumping...
Push through the fear!
Maybe I can still turn around...
So close!
No turning back now...
Shit!
Reaching my summit...
Open your heart and your mind!
What I have in me is all I can use in this moment...
Use it!
Create an experience...
Walk back down a little taller,  a little stronger, and with a little more love for yourself!
Believe it or not....
You brought this to you!
Soak it up...
You got this!
Relief...

Poem: Another Lift Off

Another lift off...
Another sun peaking over the rounded horizon
I watch the details fade and a sense of relief is felt
Not because I am safe - the risk is part of the journey
Moreover, the earth becomes a mirror of my mind and I am left with the bigger picture
Sometimes pain
Sometimes peace
Sometimes love
Sometimes excitement
Clarity is felt and as we start the descent and the details become larger and clearer again, I wonder:
"When will my mind mirror this take off frequently, and where is that balance between spaces?
