We Can’t Do It On Our Own

Let love in from others

and from yourself

because the universe,

the divine,

will make you and this world

so incredibly beautiful

if you trust that what it wants to give you

will in fact make your life more beautiful

than you ever could

alone.

It made sunsets, blue oceans, yellow flowers,

moss, singing birds, music,

and it can create that beauty

in and out of you

for your life

if you let go of thinking that you could create something more beautiful

on your own.

It wants to help you,

to have us work in harmony,

and to have you enjoy its warmth and fruits.

So let its love in.

The love that’s in every person,

under your nose,

behind your eyes,

in your stomach.

And stay with it

by loving it back.

By kissing rocks, petting trees, forgiving everyone,

putting your close ones before everything,

and doing what makes you joyful.

That joy

will save you

and me

and us

and nature

all at once.
