Showing Up

I choose to show up for myself

for my life

for the good of and in the world

for the universe

I deserve to show up for myself

as myself

bravely

fiercely

lovingly

I am enough as I am

and so are you.

We who choose to grow, and rest,

and be, and do

We are the beings

capable of magic

spreading it far and wide

or shining it brightly within

We are star dust, you and I;

We are magnificent exactly as we are

All needs doing is the show

Showing up for ourselves

within ourselves

for others

and to

or tell

How do you show up for yourself?

In an extra special moment of mindful peace and quiet

In that extra push of momentous effort to create

Choosing to keep something only for yourself

Choosing to share something with someone else

Show up, show down, show yourself 

You are welcome here.
