This is my Flow: This is my flow there are many like it but this one is mine I've committed to spend my lifetime divining the designs that unfold when spinning in circles To embrace destiny beyond notions of destination and deadline To make play my practice and take bliss seriously Moving meaningfully touching each second like the seam of infinity Living to learn in the moment Listening to all that's always and almost been ever mindful the dance begins within I measure my actions by the depth of their intention Not surrendering my soul to violence coerced by blindness I honor the perfection of the honest expression Wake each day with the same calling To open eyes and rise To move matter to motion and make each moment matter I've learned this from four years of dancing with a partner who everyday offers me the same gift the open infinite space within to move and be moved yes, I'm talking about a hula hoop And I know it might be surprising that a toy teaches anything enlightening but I inquire Who leads in the dance between the inspiration and the inspired? I believe we're all artists whose dreams paint the vision we'd call reality mastering many mediums to express the truths that make peace with our mortality it matters only that you take the chance remove the shame from your senses and trust your dance I find it inspiring that the world never stops turning By these invisible forces we're given new days to create new ways of reacquainting With every dance we're exchanging our stories sacrificing our pride and glory for the connection forged in between in the space where you and I dance bare, bold and seen I raise my voice because for me freedom is not a choice but a responsibility I rise to everyday And I gotta let em know so I rise up and say This is my flow there are many like it but this one is mine It's revolutionary by design And it may well be the quintessentially pointless art but it teaches me the legacy of movement I leave begins where my revolutions start and I get another chance with every beat of my heart So I'm going to let myself grow Let myself flow Summon movement from the sound that in my resonance is found dance within this symbol of unity celebrating the beauty of soul set free for you and me and all born by the power of grace and energy
