There Are Depths Beneath You

There are depths beneath you. Stay steady, keep walking. Identify what is best for you and stick to it.

Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Pull back, keep steady, venture onward, don’t stop.
Peel away, but keep walking and recover.

Don’t take yourself too seriously. I stutter and say words wrong at times and it reminds me to slow down. Let my mouth catch up to all the thoughts in my mind. It isn’t always about the speed and it’s rarely about all the doing. It isn’t even always about the pressure or the weight. Slow down, simplify, stay steady.

Let yourself breathe heavy.
Take it all in.
Process and grow.
Let others go ahead of you or a different path than you.
Nod and smile.
Take it one step at a time.

You’re worth all the fallen scales and tireless twirls. There are depths beneath you. Spin and dance upon the complexities. Find beauty in the lack of understanding, because it’s all too big and triumphant and glorious. Let wonder capture you and adventure seek you out. Open your eyes to the endless.

You are truly endless.

I’m about to scale back and turn off all the deadlines. I’m ready to say that I won’t always be posting to this piece of my website. I need a little freedom to write, write, write.

To write and process.
To write and imagine.
To write and share.

I’m going to take May to dream and dance on random pages of SassyFireLions. I’m going to pull back the veil and simplify my own expectations and I’m going to have fun doing it. I don’t mind goals and deadlines, they aren’t bad. I’m really not getting rid of them, I’m just re-shaping how I see and use them.

So I dare you to adventure with me. Don’t stick yourself inside a single box, circle or nest. Venture forth and take your time. Explore your life and drizzle some curiosity upon the depths beneath and within you. Let life be a little wonderful, a little daring and forever filled with the infusion of both light and darkness, because it’s all good in the midst of the endless.
