letting go

i've only done it in my dreams so far, but i secretly believe one day i will walk on air.

you are willing to go deep and have some tools to navigate w/ me
are not afraid to be ravaged in love–
you catch a glimmer of my soul–
are feminine, compassionate, soulful, and somewhat fierce, independent, strong-minded, and vulnerable
a fellow traveler yearning to touch truth and beauty
have a feeling for nature,
an interest in natural health
solid values

ultimately, if something flutters within you
