The water invites one’s woes to be carried away ,
as it lightens the spirit and frees ancient aches so that they soar into the heavens .
Relentless rains and their density are something to beware . Their heaviness can be
dreamt away .
The ocean waves and river’s flow tell their stories to our souls . They speak a language
recognizable to our hearts and invite a dance from the depths of our breath into
sacredness .
A quiet dance within where the steps begin with hope and determination . The choice and conviction carry the call to action . Love for the unknown other is on the line .
How you choose wait determines one’s peace of mind . That too is a dance in your mind . A few steps forward into optimism and a step back into fear .
As long as we breathe our dance for freedom will never end . 
Winds are blowing wildly tonight . The waves dance and display their power gloriously. It draws me into to my freedom and into my joy .
My steps upon on the sand become of a dance of their own as I delight in the roars of the waves and strength in the winds .
It all brings me home to that in between place where the joyous freedom lives and dances and knows wisdom that needs no explanation .
Spreading my arms wide , welcoming the beautiful wild of life , and the cloak of heaviness flies away .
Freedom without knowledge , freedom without wisdom , freedom without compassion . What does it create ?
Without an anchor to your soul and distance from your fears any fool can envelope you in a blanket of their tall tales and drag you along on their crazy lies .
Freedom to create a life that you’ve dreamed …Oh but wait not if they say “No”.
So you go …somewhere and start doing something thinking that this is what must be . And the men at the top talk passionately of freedom , your freedom , as they take it all away. You hear the passion not the meaning and it’s all so exciting . The energy and the community that help you to feel oh so strong grabs you hard , so hard that you forget that it’s lies .
Remember …remember that we all have the right to be .
The roaring dragon breathes life into the sleeping darkness . Startling the calm . Startling the love . And startling the hopefulness .
The roaring dragon breathes fire into storms of embers . Suddenly they are spreading and blowing every which way . Fire spreading , fear rising up like a volcano erupting .
The hearts and souls of warriors that live for a better way , for illumination in the dark , gather their resolve to free the world of the roaring dragon .
The destruction caused is filled with trickery and many pledge allegiance to the fire of the dragon .
The fires from this dragon will be cast out and be forever altered by a mighty ocean wave . And as the moon and the stars give power to the ocean so too will the warriors give light to the darkness and begin to heal the fears .
