The Way You Walk 7/8/2023

Looking forwards
And backwards
Peering around corners
I can tell
By the way you walk
You’re anxious
And fearful
Of what might occur.

Afraid
Of changes ahead
Afraid
Of things that might occur
Trying to control
Everything
By keeping things
The same as before.

But your Soulful Self
Wants you
To be mindful
Wants you
To be expressive
So let go of the control
And learn to flow
With what is
And that’s that.

Learn to balance
Your heart
And mind
Within a connection
Made of stillness
And awareness
For that’s were
Guidance resides.

It’s ok to review
It’s ok to examine
But live in a place of love
Instead of fear
That’s how you move
Through
The doorway of
The unknown
That lies ahead.
