The Dance of Universes

A call to be courageous and vulnerable

While off a remote peninsula in Mexico, I realized that this small boat was the only way back to mainland.

Vulnerability is the gateway to authenticity and connection, but why is it so hard to practice?

The Dance of Universes

A Poem by Kellion Knibb

I get to choose

how I want to show up

–for myself–

–for everyone else–


What I give to this world

is a choice for me

alone


How the world responds

is its own poem


I smile when it rains

because the sun

is not all that’s beautiful


I’m rewarded with rainbows

and the glisten of raindrops

falling from tree leaves


I dance when the beat drops

and find companion

on the dancefloor

with people who came looking

for the same things I’ve been searching for


I listen with intent

and bend my ears to hear

what they dare not say out loud

just yet


Here, I think, is the chance

to accept what’s been shared

in that glance and give

a piece of what’s brought me here


Here, I think, is where

we come together

or get torn apart


severed by our fear


to go deeper and share

what really goes on

when no one else is there.
