Its okay to let go

It’s okay to take a break. I am not slacking. I deserve these gains. Swamp queen, everything so convoluted and rickety. There is work to be done. I smell gas in the air. It follows me. I have not done my proper breathing today. The lights make everything feel like a black lagoon. Sticky and tricky. I send my root down and I know that I am okay. I once would have been embarrassed by the sound of my own breath. Now I take up space. I leave my mark upon this world. I don’t even know the impact that I am yet to have, but I make the small steps and inches towards this, weaving a web of intention and presence and focus in my wake. I slowly build my world of peace in the world of chaos. I ground and I find my center. No matter the scenarios. I will not be afraid. I am whole. I am grounded. I have worked relentlessly for this and I will not give up. Not now, not ever. Never a victim to life but instead the crafter of the masterpiece. Each healed scar and bloody lip added as part of the paint and the power.

Do not sleep just yet. Even when life around is in a lull, stay awake, stay grounded, stay focused. Stay clear. You are centered and you are here and you do not need to leave this moment. Just be, child, my love, just be.
