I dared to reach a little further,
to hold all that was
in need of holding
in my own heart and in the world
just a little longer,
just a little more —
just a little past
the stories on the surface —
to continue to trust
in the power of reconnecting
with the space within —
to remember
the beauty and wisdom
in the depths
of where I had once been
afraid to look.
