Today I summoned my courage
and I took my mind under my arm
I told her don’t be afraid of me, you will feel safe.
You don’t have to worry, there is nothing you need to do.
Don’t jump back and forth in time,
because you miss the moment.
Yes, I know, life was hard, you were so scared
you worried about everything
but know that I have always loved you.
I patiently watched your anxiety
even when it only caused damage
and I said to myself, be patient
sooner or later it will get to the essence
and it will agree to lel itself be loved
and let itself be guided by you.
Now that day has come
and you, tired, approached me saying: “listen to me
I’m very tired, what do you say if I give you the helm”.
I looked at you in silence with all the love of Creation.
I took you in my arms
and I caressed your face.
How much effort, mind of mine, have you done
to reach this point
where on your own you managed to understand
that the journey together must be completed.
Now hold tight to my hand
because I will take you far away.
Beyond any fear, beyond any secure ground.
Because life loves to experiment
and be guided by the wind.
Hold on tight and let go
because now together we can fly.
