Once you’ve seen something,
You can’t unsee it.
You’ve expanded beyond return.
Once your mind opens,
You can’t go back to your former shapes.
Once your heart opens,
You know you suffer when you close.
Once you allowed yourself to be you,
You can no longer negotiate with expectations or split yourself.
Once you walk through fear,
The unknown no longer scares you.
Once you recognize your worth,
Your standards rise—and you hold them with honor.
Once you realized the world won’t give you freedom, peace, love, or wholeness —and you feel them in you,
The world stops influencing you, and you move with more Grace.
Once you fall in love with yourself,
You fall in love with Life—You become Love.
Once the ground beneath you is gone,
You no longer need a paved path to walk.
You are the path.
Once you release your expectations,
Life returns to you with Grace.
