It feels so nice to soften,
To relax,
To melt into myself.
To be alone—with me.
To breathe, to feel, to allow.
To be with whatever is moving through me.
To allow whatever’s flowing,
Whatever’s happening within me—
To be,
Whether I like how it feels or not,
And even if I can also see a part of me resisting
What is.
It feels nice to become aware,
To expand awareness,
To gain awareness—
And understanding.
To see places and spaces I couldn’t see before.
To see the ways I’ve changed,
The ways I’m changing,
Softening,
Flowing,
Allowing.
Self-growth,
Awareness,
Evolution—
Is a process,
A journey.
It unfolds
Softly,
Sometimes almost imperceptibly,
Over time.
Until one day we just notice that things have changed,
That we have changed,
That we are different.
This self-journey flows,
From one breath,
One moment,
To the next.
It’s nice to see and feel it happen,
To notice it,
To be aware of it,
To be present with the journey of it.
It feels so nice to be here,
With me,
With myself,
Here
Now
Where I am—
Right now.
It feels so nice to be.
To just be—
With me.
