I’ve lived through sorrows
I’ve lived through pain
I let others share their burdens
And have no shame
I was born to feel
And guide a path of transcendence
Sometimes giving me energy
Sometimes leaving me torn with repentance
Working with the wounded
Is a calling to my soul
Sometimes I come into the studio tired
And leave as good as gold
Everywhere I meet humans
I have a yearning to connect
In the most authentic way possible
Without a tinge of regret
My past traumas have shaped me
The highs and the lows
It has taught me that in life
We need to go slow
Every soul I meet
Is a give and receive
An invaluable exchange
A moment my heart will never forget
To meet people who are so vastly different from my culture and beliefs
Somehow finding similarities
Over several cups of coffee and tea
