Travel Through Stories
At Venture Road, we see beauty in the art of travel. Physical travel when we are able, and travel via stories, music, art, etc in the in between moments, has the ability to awaken the senses, and change the way we view the world, the way we treat others, and the way we choose to walk within our local community, our own home, and beyond. Today, travel via story with us.
That first earth gift of breathing
Opened your body, these lungs, this heart
Gave birth to the ability to interact
With dreaming
You are a story fed by generations
You carry songs of grief, triumph
Thankfulness and joy
Feel their power as they ascend
Within you
As your walk, run swiftly, even fly
Into infinite possibilityLet go that which burdens you
Let go any acts of unkindness or brutality
From or against you
Let go that which has burdened your family
Your community, your nation
Or disturbed your soul
Let go one breath into anotherGive thankfulness for this Earth we are
For this becoming we are
For this sunlight touching skin we are
For the cooling of the dark we areListen now as Earth sheds her skin
Listen as the generations move
One against the other to make power
We are bringing in a new storyWe will be accompanied by ancient songs
And will celebrate togetherBreathe this new dawn
Assist it as it opens its mouth
To breathe.
