Clearing the Shadow

"Give your love away, even though you have been burned.

Do not let the scorch of the past harden you into something you are not.

You were not made of ash—you were made of light.

Your open heart is not a wound; it is a wellspring.

Let them say you were too soft, too trusting, too open—

But let no one say you became what hurt you.

Keep giving.

Keep loving.

Keep becoming."
