Aurora's Whisper
Speak up.
Your truth is needed now.

Share your heart’s vision -
for kindness,
for compassion.
The world needs the medicine
that is in you
To pour water over parched hearts,
To offer nourishment to starved souls.
The weary world is craving a safe place to rest.

Prepare a bed for it,
light the candles,
fluff the pillows,
air the linens,
strew lavender flowers across the room -
an earthly soporific.
Create a place so warm,
so safe,
the world can not resist.

Then remember that you belong to the world,
That this resting place is yours.

I know you want to save the world.
But first - save yourself.
