Poems By Danna Faulds

I just finished reading these 2 poems by Danna Faulds, an amazing yogi and poet. I found both of them to be heart-felt and amazing, so I wanted to share them with you.

Let It Go -Danna Faulds

Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold:

the holding of plans or dreams or expectations – Let it all go.

Save your strength to swim with the tide.
The choice to fight what is here before you now 

will only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts

to flee from the very energy you long for. Let go.

Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes

through your days whether you received it gently

or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders.

Take this on faith; 
the mind may never find the explanations that it seeks, but you will move forward

nonetheless. 

Let go, and the wave’s crest will carry

you to unknown shores, beyond your wildest dreams

or destinations. 

Let it all go and find the place of

rest and peace, and certain transformation.

Allow

- Danna Faulds

There is no controlling life.

Try corralling a lightning bolt,

containing a tornado.  

Dam a stream and it will create a new

channel.  

Resist, and the tide

will sweep you off your feet.

Allow, and grace will carry

you to higher ground.  

The only safety lies in letting it all in –

the wild and the weak; 

fear, fantasies, failures and success.

When loss rips off the doors of

the heart, or sadness veils your

vision with despair, 

practice

becomes simply bearing the truth.

In the choice to let go of your

known way of being, the whole

world is revealed to your new eyes.

Breathe it all in..

Find your center..

May you see what needs to be seen..
