I Am Willing

Tender is the sound.

The ground reveals herself.

Each step another way to breathe it all in.

I go back.

I listen again.

Each time I bring something.

Holding what is not yet known I begin to understand its shape.

I give up needing to be understood.

I give it away.

Instead I touch what needs no name.

I am walking.

Moving through warm light.

Birds sing.

They are singing songs of new growth.

What is unseen, what will come next?

Preparation requires willingness to step in,

step towards that which is not guaranteed.

Willingness.

I am willing to step towards you without knowing.

I am willing.
