A Service in Committing to Love Manifestations of Love and Solidarity #2
Learning to forgive
I’m holding
The harm
The harm of holding pain
The fire fuelled by the projected notion of inadequacy
The blank face - Breath
I eat
A self reflecting ceremony to be kind to myself
A time to honour myself and others
A time to minimise some of the pain
A time to release the joy and play through a convoluted exploration of love
The movement of wellness - Breath
Learn beyond yourself
Self is not the mark
Love
I have come to learn it's not how I want it
It’s how I receive it
I forgot to listen
Seeking love with preconceived ideas
Actively moulding love to suit my ideologies.
I forgot to listen
Listen to the collaboration
The fight is for the greater implications
So in love, I work to listen
To be heard to hear you
