You can't run from the past. It will always catch up with you. You've just got to accept that some waves crash and drag the beach back with them, and some waves ebb slowly back and forth. Life is not 'now', it is an ever-growing organism; it is you, and all that you are, morphing through time, moving with the tide. Stop fighting the tide and let your fears be as loud as your love. Let the waves crash around you and take your body from shore to shore; you are the particles of sand that move from beach to beach; you are seeing the world slowly, at a pace not controlled by you, but you cannot go faster or slower, you can only go with it. Stop fighting the tide. Stop running from what you are, from who you are. We are all everything that we can be in every cell of our body and by accepting our lifelines as well as our bodies we can all move together, we can make beautiful beaches, coves, inlets, we can destroy cliffs and we can make lagoons and spits. One day we'll wash ashore and dry and float in the desert like butterflies in a storm. But only when we accept.
To every moment you must be true. Your life is lived only by you. Fear not what you do or do not control; we place the hope of humanity within each other.
I am a juggernaut of self-expectation. I am the confidence which I wish to have. I am in love with my own life. I am a patient time-bomb; I am a rushing hour glass; I am time, I am place, I am energy and love.
All that I know is within myself; I am all knowledge and wisdom.
You are not less than that. You can be everything, you can be more; we say that we try but we do not try enough. Take my hand and jump; we'll float on waves and swim in the shallows.
