Being human is not for the faint of heart.

Life is so very real, fragile, exhilarating, painful, luminescent.

Your bones bathe in your ancestor’s wounds

While your soul carresses a future lineage awaiting

Each breath of your awakening.

You could taste the earth, its rooted energies,

As it draws life into your blood

And moistens your marrow.

A life so vast the rocks and trees know you by

Your name.

The stars await your confession

The hardships you can no longer bear

The resentment without a place to call home

Within a mind and heart that was created to love.

No, being human is not for the faint of heart.

But I know you.

Perhaps in the way God knows you.

Perhaps in the way you know yourself

But are afraid to see the truth.

You are braver that you think..

After all, you are right here, right now.

So live and be human.
