Hard to let love in, to do its work on you, healing backward and forward
In letting your arms fall to your sides
In finding your sigh, and then your shout of joy and praise, wonder and awe
The world teaches us to defend and protect
Hide and get by, rush and push through -
It is ok to take your time In trusting there is no hidden agenda
Except the learning to love And to be loved
It is not easy, we know - to let love in
To let love do its work upon your heart
Healing backwards and forwards
Softening cynicism, releasing judgment
Finding forgiveness, and believing not all is lost -
Finding that you have always been worthy of love just as you are
That we all are worthy of love
Just as we are:
Queer and complicated; messy and miraculous
Creatively gendered;
caring, and kind of confused
It’s ok to go slow - just don’t stop
Keep moving towards this light that wants only to love every part of you
This light that is longing to call your scars sacred, and your hope holy
Ready to brave this world in all of its brokenness
Armed only with truth,
and the power of a community held in promise
The vision of a world unafraid to change, to keep changing
To hold, and to be held across every wave and rush of wind.
