“Your past is shielding your eyes

from everything the universe

is trying to show you.

Let it go,

and watch

as the galaxies part,

and the constellations

light your way.

Your future will open your eyes

to everything the world holds,

your blindness is temporary, love,

there is more here, more beauty, more fire,

more wilderness than you can imagine…

Open your heart.

Breathe in the stars.

Breathe in the sun.

Allow yourself to be illuminated.”
