“I see you, beneath the surface. I see your untamable wild. I see your billowing heart. I see your unshed tears and your not yet dreams and your devotion to spirit. I see you howl at the moon and call the ocean home and ground to earth and grow taller than the trees.

You are not alone. You are not invisible.

You are seen. You are seen. You are seen.

And my god, you are beautiful.”
