This is how each story gets told:
You have to be ready in order to receive it;
You have to be still in order to hear it;
You have to hear it in order to say it;
You have to say it in order to believe it;
You have to want it enough to accept it.
Then let it transform you from the inside out
like the birth of a mystery that finds it own voice,
suspended in space, sucking in air and singing
the wildest song from the shock of your lungs
because it’s the only one you know;
It’s your heartbeat touched with breath;
It’s the fingerprint of your tongue;
It’s your truth to be shared;
It’s marrow turned to soul.
