When the bottle collapses the smoke stares back
It sees me better
Than a glass eye

Smirking creepily

I’m patiently waiting for it to change

Like the moments taken away

Helpnessness is an emptiness
That blocks out empowerment

It takes courage to reconfigure the empowered
To put your power in its place
And to recognize
That the mask must come down

Walked out of a door.      

Onto a tightrope

What does risk feel like?

Carving you out of cut outs
Identifying the body

Adrenaline lining my veins
Above board
See the planets fade
In and out
Of their eclipse

We must breathe for life
Living air
Has no replacement
For it cares too much

It takes a long time to truly get to know someone even if love at first encounter is felt.

Matters of the heart require patience and due diligence.  

The fact that genuine intention exists should be enough just as emotional and soulful intelligence.

Trust takes time to be earned.  
Loyalty is an admiral gift to offer but is to be reserved for the few that have been selected.

Walk through fire for those that walk for you and do it with careful choosing.

Connecting to my Vision

Learning to Trust with my whole heart

Loving the realization that it has

always been
in

Me.

To do this.

Clarity erases all doubt, for it is not only what we believe, but how we assume ourselves to live within the feeling of our conviction that means everything towards finding it. We can easily reverse the sides.

For all I’ve come across who chose to share their stories with me.

Thank you for giving me a window to transform into a powerful creator who shifts lives for all people experiencing and struggling with life’s challenges.
The act and the art of performance, poetry, and artistic expression has become the motivator and the catalyst for me to create this Shift, as a means for healing through the expressive arts and as a way to understand both humanity and the journey towards resilience in my own life.

I am grateful for the opportunity to channel circumstances and expand my knowledge in the cross section between the arts and mental health.

To the mentors (those whom I’ve spoken to and listened to their guidance and to the ones I haven’t met who are no longer with us) thank you for inspiring my consciousness and empowering me to claim my hidden power as a source for healing and creative action, so that I may live this way and pass it onto others.

To Emotional Well-being and exploring all the parts of who you are.
Such is like a beautiful butterfly
unmasked
coming out of its disguise
from out of its cocoon
Finally free from the glass that has tried to keep itself hidden from its true self.
Become that.

With gratitude and much healing your way,

You are the choice and the choice is your will. Will equals choice.
So there is no one
but I and no one else
but
You.
Bend your desire to your will.
And you’ll always have your choice.
