To the man I pray to everyday
You are a man who:
wears his beard fully,
not because he’s handsome but because uncle sam, doesn’t have a say anymoreA man who embraces that hint of wild man that he is
A man in the woods, only answering to the birds call
A man who knows not the name of every tree but all of their essence
A man who isn’t afraid of alarms anymore
A man whose son’s friends all want to meet
A man no longer confined by garmets who tried to garnish Vietnamese farmers
A man who travels the word sharing his love for poetry, enticing others to write their own story
He doesn’t care how sad or boring,
this man wants to illuminate a safe space for your allegory,Because on any given day, your words may save someone’s life
A man grounded in the Earth
A man who doesnt fidget and twitch because his back doesn’t hurtA man who doesn’t get anxiety between 5 and 6 PM anymore
A man that doesn’t lash out when he’s challenged by a loved one
A man who takes a deep belly breath each time
A man who’s presence alone makes people feel better about themselves
A man who’s wife always feel safe in his arms
A man that takes those wanting to fly, under his wing
A man….
that I think I’m

Another GEM! I think your ideal self is the man you are right now. I feel like you are such a soft kind soul. Once you figured out who and how you wanted to be, you went all in and it came so naturally. Your heart is changing the world. Thank you for being part of our family. Happy Holidays!<3 Lauren
