A journey through voice and words.

“To listen to yourself requires inner strength and trust. Trust that the stillness and silence you will meet once you decide to listen again will offer a place of growth and liberation.” — Vanessa

Keep rising

Be a lady bug on a sunflower petal
Be a child’s heartwarming infectious laughter
Be a perfectly ripe, buttery avocado on freshly baked sourdough bread
Be the sweet scent of lilacs
Be the most embarrassing singer at a karaoke party
Be the one who is not afraid to admit she peed in the pool
Be the unexpected rainbow created by a sprinkler on a hot sunny day
Be an enormous platter of crispy fried food
Be a big, heavy tear of heartbreak
Be your nation’s anthem at the Olympic’s downhill race
Be the warmth of your mom‘s hug
Be the soft dirt underneath your bare feet
Be the thick accent celebrating your heritage
Be the comfy, stretchy pants after a day of culinary indulgence
Be the puppy who stumbles over his own tail
Be the bold splatter of yellow in Jackson Pollock’s No. 5
Be the Crimson red maple leaf on an Indian summer day in Quebec
Be the knock on the door before a long awaited reunion
Be the postcard that travels halfway across the globe to surprise someone special
Be the orgasm you thought you would never experience again
Be one of those human like dogs who pose with a big grin for pictures
Be an ultra comfy, oversized, food stained T-shirt
Be one of trillion of stars in the sky reminding us that really nothing, yet everything is so significant

Be exactly what you never dared to be
Be it big
Fall on your face with an open heart, over and over again
Keep getting up
Embrace the darkness, and trust that light always reappears
Never stop being weird
Never settle for less
Keep trying
Keep rising
