I am learning how to accept
that taking up space
in the rooms that I enter
can be nourishing
and generous
and okay.
I am learning how to practice
the balance between
honoring my gift of listening
and offering others
my rumble of laughter
with rambles of reflections
about dreams, annoyances, and mundane things.
And I am learning how to respect
both the beauty of being still
and the radiance of moving and dancing through life,
not hungry for any permission.
