Stuck on a chair
Inside an airport
Freedom to go out and explore,
Fear to find more
Hours have passed
Almost time to depart
Our final temporary destination
About to reach, we are
A day has gone by
Sat patiently, wasn’t so hard
But I wonder, was it right?
Back we shall be,
Exploring will so be
Could’ve done some today,
Not that today was a bad day
Fear is what I question
Fear and structure
Are they always our best option?
Are they, instead, holding us back?
Airport is fine,
But is life?
Are we waiting around for life?
Life certainly isn’t waiting for us
Is fear of the unknown holding us back?
Are structure & scheduling pushing us far?
Far from our finish lines,
In opposite direction I stand
Phones need to be put down
Seats need to be removed
Legs need to be put to use
A whole world out there,
& just us in here

The Quiet Influence
The Quiet Influence An oracle on steadiness, softness, and returning to oneself Author’s Note This piece was written from a place of quiet integration rather than urgency—a moment when nothing needed to be solved, proven, or pushed through. I wrote it for those who are discovering that healing doesn’t always arrive as a breakthrough, but sometimes as a gentle settling into presence. If this feels anticlimactic, tender, or unexpectedly emotional, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re likely learning how to rest without disappearing—and how to let yourself be held without effort.
