The Blue of Your Courage

Remember that in times of gloom,
When the doubts and fears take over
When you wake in the middle of the night
And your mind is spinning tales of doom
And worst case scenarios

You can look closely at your thoughts
Turn your fears on their side
And see that the bright, shiny blue
Of your soul’s timeless sagacity
Is always there
And can prevail
Through any storm.

It is the blue
Of your courage
Of your knowing
Of your wisdom.

It is the blue
Of hope
Of love
Of presence.

This is the time
To spread your wings,
To leave the residue
Of your ancestors’
Survival fears
In your wake,
And to soar
To new heights.

No holding back,
No ambivalence.
A whole-hearted yes
To life
And all the glorious
Adventures
She has in store for you.

May you find all the
Joy
Passion
Love
Spontaneity
And excitement
That is your birthright.
