When I say that I believe, don't make me feel ashamed.
I believe in Love.
Despite the popular trend, of wrapping hearts in barbed wire, refusing to let it in.
I believe in quiet love. Gentle love, the kind that fills the hidden cracks.
The love that lies in the subtleties of life, that wordlessly has your back.
I believe in great grand sparkling love. Shouted from rooftops, danced in the street.
The kind of love that jumps up demanding to be seen, the kind you feel to the tips of the toes on your feet.
I believe in stupid love, that blind love that is wreckless and without bounds.
That love that is our greatest teacher, our wisest lesson, the kind we know we shouldn't but we miss when its not around.
I believe in watching my children sleep kind of love, passing a stranger in the street kind of love, smiling at someone the first time you meet kind of love, passion that turns you into a freak kind of love.
And I believe in messy love. Clumsy, sloppy, awkward puppy love. The love that is unprepared, unafraid, unashamed to be naive.
With so much evidence of love around me, how could I not believe?
I believe in Magic,
The kind that makes people look at you funny. The type that when you brave to say it aloud, people shake their head like "awww honey."
I believe in the magic of the mystical. Fairies and angels and sprites. Frolicking on flowers, living in trees, appearing to children, having honey parties with bees. All the while marveling at how us humans are so damn UPTIGHT.
I believe there is something else. Something so much more than this place.
Aliens in space, God in Heaven. A limitless universe to embrace.
I believe in the vibrations of energy,of crystals and sage.
you know.. all of that "hippy shit."
that seems to be all the rage.
I believe in the power of meditation of prayer of your thoughts I believe in manifestation.
I believe in the magic of people. To do some extraordinary things.
I believe in the natural born magic in all of us human beings.
I believe in the particular magic of kids, their unfiltered, untainted hope. I believe in the magic of their wisdom, their imaginations, their ability to lift us from the end of our rope.
I believe in the magic of moments, those instants where it all just kind of fits.
With so much of it bursting all around me, it's clear that magic is legit.
I believe in kind gestures that no one will see, I believe in respecting even if you don't agree.
I believe in allowing someone to drop on their ass. I believe that yes, this too shall pass.
I believe a drink with a friend can be the solution. I believe a good cry can erase the hearts pollution. I believe in letting yourself be angry when your mad, I believe it's never as simple as its good or its bad.
I believe in investing in good shampoo and pampering your hair and being polite and that life CAN be fair.
I also believe that life can suck and that's ok. Cuz I believe that if you LET yourself believe you will ALWAYS find your way.
So when I say that I believe, I won't EVER feel ashamed.
