‽
don’t be afraid to show
what you know
what you hold inside
whats kept hidden
suffocates, slowly dies
or worse what you make visible
will be perceived as a lie
only the truth that is burning well
will help you survive
a deeper knowing, a fearless thought
a feeling that consumes alive
say what is on your mind
while you’re still full of life
let go, love, express, ignite
it is definitely worth a try
my love, don’t be shy
no breath comes out of a dead self
not even a sigh!

Egyrészt mert rímel az Andi barátnőm által ma reggel megosztott sorokra, másrészt meg mert így, ahogy van tökéletes.

Dear Himani,
Thank you for this beautiful poem.
What a powerful statement…”no breath comes out of a dead self.”
This poems brings alive that fact that that we may step out of the way of the River, letting her flow as she wills.
I very much like the art.
I remember (I believe it was Mawlana Rumi) the teaching, “Be as you are!” Your beautiful poem brings this to mind, with the “are” being a deeper are than just the skin of our heart.
All good wishes,
robert

Thank you dear Robert, for your kind words and beautiful insight 🙂 What a great reminder from Rumi! Being an introvert, I have struggled with communicating my feelings..still a work in progress as you can see from this self-talk 😉 Appreciate you here, as always!
p.s. you were a little late in stopping by and leaving a comment and believe me, for a moment, my heart skipped a beat 😛

We all need to step away from here once in a while, Himani. I don’t do it enough. When I get my gardens up and going, you won’t see me as much on here. So, I am enjoying my friends while I can. Gardening is very time consuming. And once in that world, I really don’t want to be here. If you know what I mean. Love, Amyi
