“Your past is shielding your eyes
from everything the universe
is trying to show you.

Let it go,
and watch
as the galaxies part,
and the constellations
light your way.

Your future will open your eyes
to everything the world holds,
your blindness is temporary, love,
there is more here, more beauty, more fire,
more wilderness than you can imagine…
Open your heart.
Breathe in the stars.
Breathe in the sun.
Allow yourself to be illuminated.”
