if you knew…
how much courage it took,
how much strength and tenacity
was involved, and how long it’s taken
to develop my little corner of the universe
into a place that vibrates harmony and acceptance
a place where magic and wonder our currency
where mystery and uncertainty is welcome
where nature and art, and dreams and music
and dancing, poetry and philosophy are not just tokens
and the language of love and gratitude
and of kindness and understanding are spoken freely
where being open and vulnerable is not a risk
and true intimacy is the greatest gift
you might understand why I am protective
and why I am selective about who
I allow into my life
