congratulations on arriving.

 

now—breathe it in.

​​

​​

​​

a world of sovereign beings

 

moving through life with unshakeable self-worth—setting every space they touch alight with joy.

​​

​

​

sisters, laughing—living their truth.

strong sons proud to feel—and be seen feeling.

 

 

cubs running barefoot through safe, wild lands.

​

Lions—sharing their gifts, without hesitation.

​​

​​

​​

​

the future is lush

​

with true leaders—who wouldn't perch atop a pyramid for all the gold in the world,

​

and elders—the shoulders others stand on—drumming up the wind that lifts the wings they've readied to fly.

​​

​

 

this isn't a "warm and fuzzy idea"—it's a fire already lit.

​​

​

every choice to feel instead of numb,

every honest yes and unapologetic no,

every empowered decision and aligned action—is another log catching.
