Elastic

Elasticity
Is flexibility
With strength
At its core

To be ready
For our peoples
Beyond skill
Beyond tools

The stuff we are made of
What may they be?

They aren’t acquired
They exist
Covered over

Stuffness

To you

Comfortableness
With change

Is not ease

Only obstruction

Part of who you are
Makes room
For others

With clear eyes
Open heart
Full courage

Double-edged swords
Wielded with art
Both humble
And proud
Is the frontier
Of wonderment

Humility clarifies
Who we need to be

‍

It is not ego
Stroked by power

Be aware
Of what you need
To fill up
Agency or
healing?

Work in progress
The nature of our
Spirit
The human element
Embodied
In hand

_____________

Hold what is precious
In your pocket

There, it is not hidden
It is not obstructing
Your comfortableness
With the grip
Of change

What we hold
Onto
Too tightly
We no longer
Move
But are moved by
