Empty Out

Illustrated by Josh Steadman @steadmanstyles

I have been thinking on how to express my thoughts, and a Haiku seemed the best way. The idea of emptying out to make room for more of what I truly want to create keeps coming to mind. Dispense. Let go. Allow. Relax. And release. These are necessary if room is to be made for all that is good. Old ideas, and burdens do not have a place if new creation and possibilities are to be made. My inspiration comes from They Way With Children by M. Shayne Gallagher.

Let go old ideas

To allow for room to move

Dispense the burdens

What once seemed normal

Now feels constrained and choking

Notice to release

These lies are not you

Empty out concepts, desires,

See the space, peace, rest

Find the breath of less

Expectations have shifted

Heaven feels lighter

Wonder limitless

Possibilities endless

Unknown unfolds love

Small movements transform

A gift of being reborn

Waking to wholeness
