Invitation: Feeling it All

When you’re deeply sensitive
Love is ecstasy.
Music is godlike.
Heartache is a wide, somatic wound.
Visual natural beauty is jewel-drenched
Wild bliss.
Tension and conflict are muscle tightening
And toxic, straight down to the cells.
So how do you hold it all?
You rinse
Recenter
And remain clear.
You recycle your sensitivity
By propelling yourself and others
To create waves of change In a super starving world.
Direct your passion
By spreading your heart
Only across what clearly matters most.
Surround yourself with the souls
And spaces that groove alongside your own-
The ones that also desire to chase the beauty,
Courage and freedom
We’re all here to teach each other.
Choose love over fear
And let go of the rest
Breathing what isn’t best up out of your bones.
Remember—
There is power in the body.
Harness it for the greater good
And allow nothing confusing
Peace disrupting
Or harmful stand in its way.
It is beautiful to feel in a body made for feeling
And exist intensely on a planet exuding intensity.
