living devotions: a deeper practise

image from Pinterest

poem:

WILLINGNESS…

to be open

to be wrong

to be accountable

to not know

to take your time

to seek understanding

to want connection

to work with differences

to look for unity

to greet with tenderness

to focus on win/win

*

and also…

*

to listen beneath the words

to stay when it feels easier to leave

to leave when staying abandons yourself

*

to feel fully, without rushing to resolution

to honour your own pace as sacred timing

to trust the unfolding, even in the unknown

*

to soften your defenses without losing your center

to hold paradox without needing to solve it

to let LOVE be bigger than being right

*

to repair when rupture occurs

to speak truth with kindness, not armour

to receive as deeply as you give

*

to allow yourself to be seen in your becoming

…not just your polished arrival

*

to stay curious about your own patterns

with compassion, not criticism

*

to tend to your inner world as devotion, not duty

*

to choose presence over performance

again and again and again

*

to meet yourself as you would a beloved

especially in the moments you least feel lovable

*

to create space for silence

where truth can rise without force

*

to let pleasure be a compass

not indulgence, but aliveness

…like a gentle hum of being… of goodness

*

to forgive—not to condone, but to unbind yourself

*

to stand in your own knowing

while remaining open to being reshaped… redirected… reborn

*

to live the deep questions

instead of rushing toward easy answers

*

to remember: connection is co-created, not controlled

*

to choose love in its most honest form

…not the “pretty” version, but the real, messy, present one

that listens, falters, repairs, and tries again—keeping the heart open
