Homecoming

"Look back only long enough to say goodbye, even blow a kiss, sending a greeting of good riddance to all the stuff that is best left, there in the past. But don't forget your sunglasses, as you will need them for the bright and shiny road ahead. And, as a favorite song welcomes you back to yourself, each new step will feel light, and right, even familiar, and comfortable, as your favorite t-shirt. It's how you'll know you're on your way...home. Courage will take you there. Instinct will guide you there. And love will beckon you there. It's called living, and it's an all or nothing sorta thing. "ALL IN" screams your soul, while mediocrity pulls annoyingly at your pant leg. "Kick mediocrity in the ass" says I, and I, who am I, you ask? Why I am you. The you who, comforted your cries in the dark corners of loneliness. The you who, carried in my hands, the hopes that you sent out to the wind, to make sure they had a safe place to land. The you who, heard your siren songs of telling dreams. I’ve been with you all along. And I’m here to remind you, that you’re stronger than you think you are, more beautiful than the most exquisite of birds, and more cherishable than your most imagined treasure told. Let go. Let go. Let go. Let go…those burdens keeping you from me. I am you, pure…and this homecoming is your soul’s lifesaving deep breath. "All in" now faintly screams your voice, pushed up from your knowing soul. All in. All in. All in. All in…you stronger cry, while tasting the sweetness of those victorious tears. And, so my most dearest of friends, breathe in this amazing aliveness, filling your lungs with the richness of your deepest yearning, and take my hand, ol' friend...because the view from the other side, is some kind of spectacular! Welcome home. Welcome home. Welcome home. Welcome home...my beautiful whole friend. Please stay, and become a stranger no more.” - Ryan Roxley
