The Ground Is LOVE

YOU ARE FREE

Live.
Make mistakes.
Screw everything up.

But live anyway.
Taste failure. Taste success.

See how in the end,
they taste the same.

They taste of you.
They taste of life.
They taste of the love you always sought.

So live.
Make mistakes.
Screw everything up.

Say the right thing.
Say the wrong thing.
Shake, sweat, let the heart pound.
Find your edge and never abandon it.

They will call you names.
An idiot. Afraid. Deluded. Mad.

So taste rejection. Taste disapproval.
Taste the absence of any taste.
But hold yourself close.
Breathe.

And live.
Love. Break open to love.
Make mistakes.
Screw everything up.
Fall to the ground, laughing, crying.

Love is going to hold you.
The ground is always the ground.

The ground is love.
And you are free.
