Hearts of Authenticity

Before you I had vision, strength, courage, and purpose. I had a life/career that I felt was on track for success. I had endured many failures and many successes, which I felt were essential for meeting my long term goals. There were times when I felt something or someone was missing but in my mind the missing ingredient was only time. I really felt it was just a matter of time before things happened.

As I waited I questioned how long it would  take for me to begin realizing my dreams. I wondered who could help me and how. As months and years passed I rotated between who could help, why it was taking so long, and when it would happen. My pace never slowed and my desire never wavered.

And then I witnessed you. I was both shocked and inspired all at once. Shocked because you spoke with energy, conviction, and passion. However it was your authenticity that inspired me to be more than I was and connected me to a higher level of awareness. You inspired me to lower some of my defenses and to be open to the universe. It came with costs but the rewards were greater.

With you, there seemed to be an unlocking of my soul that created a groundswell of renewable energy over time. I found someone (or they found me) that I could pour into unconditionally. And each time I poured I could see and feel you filling up with love and confidence. It became much more than an attraction. It was through you and with you that I learned to live by the mantra of Let Be-Let Go-Let In.

Whatever the circumstances, let them be
Whatever is negative, let go
And whatever is meant for me, let it in so I can experience being seen and felt in a way that is only for me and us.

So before you it was only me, after meeting you its an uncanny connection that helps me thrive when I know our hearts are beating together. And if the connection ever feels like it has weakened, I know I can always envision softly caressing your face, looking into your eyes, and gently kiss your top lip as a way of reviving that heartbeat and connection.

And in that very moment, when I'm breathing your air, syncing with your pulse, and enjoying your space, I know that I can thrive from the authenticity, connection, and energy that we share.
