Day 71 (More loving-kindness OR You are beloved and necessary.)

In order to become 

you must be yourself –

do not tame yourself.

Claim that wild running you.

Claim your knees scarred from all your failing. 

Hug your knees now,

and let yourself be moved 

by what draws you down to them,

even when weeping.

Let your heart speak with 

whatever voice you have, loud or soft,

as long as it is your own.

Hold yourself close.

You are beloved and necessary. 

Remember yourself.
