Move and Be Moved

The edge that I walk...is seemingly solid ground that melts to sand. By day I walk a life that I have been taught is secure and makes my parents beam with pride. By night, the solid ground melts to sand and it is here, dancing under the moonlight, with stars at my feet that my soul is joyful. I am awakened to my true path and purpose. I know love. And yet, fear and responsibility pulls me back onto the solid ground. In times of fear I find the dance continues to teach me to live to satisfy my soul. It teases me out into the sand. I long to spend my days dancing with the plants. I want to trust my passions will more than sustain me and serve a greater purpose. I continue to walk the solid ground, knowing there is more, and growing more uncomfortable. I “prepare� and “contemplate� the sustainability of spending my days in the desert. Do I have enough knowledge to survive? Resistance is my partner, I feel the fear and longingly look over an expansive desert full of light, wanting so much to be alive, trust my heart, be in love, and dance fearlessly among the stars.
