Fragile Shoots

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of aliveness

Let the innocent be
Let the childish play
Let the immature mature

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of independence

Let the courage kindle
Let the risks be taken
Let the mistakes be made

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of identity

Let the rules be broken
Let the disagreement blaze
Let the direction be chosen

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of connection

Let the desire be witnessed
Let the response be owned
Let the warmth build slowly

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of authenticity

Let the performance stop
Let the voice tremble
Let the truth be known

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of insight

Let the breath settle
Let the resonance be felt
Let the void guide you

Don’t stomp on the fragile shoots of purpose

Let your surrender lead you
Let your path be your own
Let your body flower
