Let no one keep you from your journey,
no rabbi or priest, no mother
who wants you to dig for treasures
she misplaced, no father
who won’t let one life be enough,
no lover who measures their worth
by what you might give up,
no voice that tells you in the night
it can’t be done.
Let nothing dissuade you
from seeing what you see
or feeling the winds that make you
want to dance alone
or go where no one
has yet to go.
You are the only explorer.
Your heart, the unreadable compass.
Your soul, the shore of a promise
too great to be ignored.
~ Mark Nepo*
The last verse makes my heart soar!
Let us all listen to the truth within us and honor it today… and every day.

I took a course with Mark Nepo about 4 years ago — thank you for another opportunity to be in his rare light.

Love it . . .
My favorite is the first verse ~> a remembrance that if we sacrifice our lives to satisfy “them” . . . we are not doing what we came here to do.
