May we be beautiful – for ourselves, each other, our worlds, our world, and the world.

May the spirit illuminate the way, wherever it may lead.

For the journey forward and upward often begins by descending.

True strength, a silent force, emerges from within,

Grounded in truth, revealed in moments of vulnerability.

Paradoxical, countercultural, counterintuitive, revolutionary…

Pure in force, timeless in truth.

Invisible, yet felt.

Evident in nature’s rhythm—the seasons, sunrise, and sunset,

An acorn’s fall, breaking to birth life in fertile soil.

All point to it, signs of an elusive essence,

Words fail to capture in entirety.

Only in that jolt, that prompt to reconfigure,

We find a guide in love’s intention, a healer of souls.

Yet, with a jolt, a reconfiguration,

Love, a potent force, echoes through universal truths,

Touching the deepest recesses of our desires.

So, let’s choose love, the conscious antidote to fear,

Navigate the path of integration, gracefully holding paradox’s tension.

In this choice, discover freedom and free will,

Acting from a foundation of “yes, and…”— love’s eternal refrain.
