UNLEASHED
What is this?
This thirst
this hunger
this feeling that tugs
and pulses and
saturates
every blink
every breath
This feeling of wanting
to stand at the
highest
of high places—
limbs stretched out, like
branches
or wings
and bow
with the whole
of my weeping
laughing
YES-ing
Voice
to my singing
feathered friends
to roots and buds and
blossoms
to puddles and oceans and
awakened little streams
to the lily
that almost blooms
but not quite
to the just-born lamb
that hasn’t yet
found the ground
And to you, dear heart—
with all of your bruises
and scars and open wounds
with all of
your courage
and hesitation and
astonishing
Beauty
I want to pour
out my
YES-es
as if
Life
depends on it
because
I’m really quite certain
It
does

Today feels like the day to re-share this poem (from my book, On the Other Side of Fear) to declare my deep desire to unleash, to pour out my YES-es--to invite you to do the same. If you feel like declaring aloud (it's powerful stuff), please feel free to leave your words in the comments below...I'd love to hear what you are saying yes to (or long to say yes to). I will do the same.

I am saying yes to honoring all of my parts--especially the anxious, doubting, messily scattered ones. I am saying yes to unleashing it all--to no longer neat, orderly containing. I am saying yes to deep, deep breaths. And now and now and now. I am saying yes to the strength of this beating heart--to all the ways it is dying to EXPRESS. I am saying yes to showing up for my writing, to dropping deeper & more fully--to staying with a thing. I am saying yes to running my ass off, to knowing I can kick it on this upcoming run. I am saying yet to loving with the fullness of me, despite fear & hesitation--to loving the best I can right now.
