before i left i was afraid.

i continue to let that fall away.

. . .and so in resilience, in silent moments, in stretches of nocturnal road, where there is no cell signal, nothing but ourselves, we find strength. we are beckoned from a voice within, beyond. between. we raise our hands to the stars. we dance in darkness. we lift ourselves through the fear.

we land somewhere, mindset, mind state.

this world is too small

to hide

from our truths

were you always here?
