and she smiles with the tears still on her cheeks
the years of disappointment and failure are behind her now
not because she’s grown strong, although she has
and not because she’s figured anything out, because she hasn’t
she smiles because she understands the beauty of journeying with sages who remain…
whose constant provision combat fear, anxiety, doubt
they bring everything she needs every day of the journey
all she brings is herself, her heart open, ready to receive
and they walk together into freedom
