Claire Dubois
Whether or not you know that you are beautiful,
the flowers gaze at you whenever you walk by.
When your heart feels like stone and you’ve lost sight of the gifts being given,
you are still held by the earth beneath you and kissed by the breath of the trees.
When you’ve convinced yourself that you’re hopeless and that you simply can’t fulfill the role that you were born here to play,
the sky is still whispering your name and the stars are waiting for their chance to sing to you.
You are wanted here.
You are part of this creation.
Let your hurts melt away in the waves.
Let your cries be carried by the birds.
Earth, air, fire and water are the truth of you
and when you drop the veil and open to the greater You,
you will find your fullness in the valleys and the groves
and bow again to the sacred altar of your natural soul.
