I am impossible.
My very existence and becoming
is rebellion
I follow my heart
and it shows me
things I never knew was possible,
because the heart is far more intelligent
than the mind
The heart knows of spirit.
It knows of love
of empathy
of community,
the heart knows.
Lost are those who taught us
that following our heart is reckless
Following only ways of "rational" thought
Is it not far more reckless
to suppress who we are?
Is it not irrational to numb our intuition
and wonder why the world feels empty inside?
Our fear of losing
that which we never owned,
our lack of faith and patience,
addictions to temporary comfort
Leaves us unable to trust
in something far bigger than ourselves,
unable to trust the process
or believe
that we are enough
