ASPIRATION

May you never
let anyone dull your light.
May your mind be at ease
Clear from distractions that used to ground you.
May you allow yourself to humble.
May you listen to your longing
And fight to give yourself what you covet.
May you know that Love is alive in you.
We have a bonus for you – our friends at the nonprofit Quintango took this work of art and set it to music. It’s inspiring, breathtaking, and only 2 minutes long. Take a listen:

Be inspired
by the flame
but set your own fires.
The path that I have chosen
could be the answer.
I am far from over.
My future holds no bounds.
The small things seem large.
Having faith
is what gives me life.
today I am stronger,
Smarter, a survivor.
