How Dare I!
Who was I to take up so much space?
Who was I to be authentic?
Who was I to be ME?
How Dare I!
How many trials had I sat through?
How much smoke had I inhaled?
What had I endured that gave ME the right?
How Dare I!
Had I ever walked the lands?
Any of the lands where the Goddess lived?
Where the Spirits walked?
Where Namaste was spoken?
How Dare I!
How Dare I Become!
How Dare I Speak!
How Dare I Be!
How Dare I!
I dare because I do not defend My Life to accusers.
I Dare, I Become, I Speak, I Am — by Her Grace.
Life is an echo and what flows out, flows back. Times Three.
So — I will not send ill-will to those who accuse and judge.
I will lay blessings upon their fear-laden hearts.
May they go out into their lives and one day find the courage to DARE!
Namaste.
