Vulnerable

Always be vulnerable

To your pain, your fear, your loneliness,

To your pleasure too, and your joy,

To all that travels through you.

Don’t close the doors

To these pilgrims from a far-off land,

But welcome them all...

One a wild, restless spirit

Secretly longing to be tamed,

Another a lover on a long, sweet night,

Who only wants to melt in your embrace.

For this is how you grow...

By including everything.

Always, always be vulnerable

To all that you are.
