I chose an open heart.
I will love easily and deeply
even if that means I am vulnerable.
I know I am strong enough to feel it all
even when it hurts.
I will willingly trade the perception of security and safety for aliveness and sensation.
I will walk the raw, untamed edge of wildness to revel in the wondrous.
I want to live skin to skin, lip to lip, truth to truth.
If that sensitivity makes me bleed,
I will not build walls.
I will heal myself, claim my strength,
Moving toward curiosity, beauty and connection- always.
