You Are The Reaching

Quote

You are not weak. You are not lost. You are not powerless or speechless or stranded, or deadlocked with the parts of yourself you wish to change.

You are not too different or too complicated or too sad. You are not beyond repair, or the sum total of your past mistakes. You are not the coulds or the should or the woulds.

You are not the stars you reached for but didn’t catch, my love. You are the reaching.

You are the revealing. You are the discovering. You are the exquisite journey.

You are thinking and feeling and breathing and contributing. You are filled with vibrance and light. You are possibility.

You, sweet soul, are a gift to be unwrapped and celebrated offered to others, again and again.

 

Thanks to the fabulous @riasharon for this beautiful collaboration. I’m framing one of these for my office. You can order this and other printables from her Etsy shop: http://etsy.me/1fqI2Dj
