As you make your way through this world

Walkway in nature
By: Cecile Gerwel Proches

Appreciate the simple things in life,
but master the complex.
Reach for the stars,
but remain grounded.

Embrace presence,
while always remembering where you came from,
and staying focused on your emerging future.
Give thanks for all those who paved your path.

Keep smiling and laughing,
as though there isn’t a care.
See sharply and feel deeply,
driven by your child-like intuition.

Ask to be heard,
but ensure that you also listen.
Trust your inner voice,
and the ancients.
Seek infinite wisdom.

Know your worth.
Release your emotions,
but keep the balance.
Be independent,
but there’s also interdependence.

Work hard,
but maintain holistic well-being.
Draw strength from the rivers,
which travel miles from source.

Words and memories may fade with time,
but treasure that which deeply resonates,
with heart and soul.
Above all,
be guided by the Divine.
