The heat.
The quiet.
The intent.

The depth of that day.
The cleansing of the sweat as it swells and rolls off on my skin,
The smell.
The salt.
The heat.

I will follow my path. Listen deep to my heart. Trust my inner guide. Live by my truth. I will quiet the demons that haunt me. I will feed the hope that drives me. I will nourish my mind, body and spirit with actions that build me. I will shut down those and that that…
For belittling you. For not giving you the credit you deserve. For minimizing you, and what you have accomplished. For being ashamed of your (lack of) success. And for judging your success against others. For not acknowledging how far you have come. For not praising you for what you have done. For not loving you…
