for you and for me

:

I'm stepping more towards love

I'm stepping more towards freedom

I'm stepping more towards honesty

I'm stepping more towards dignity

for you, for me

:

I'm taking greater risk for peace

I'm taking greater risk for justice

I'm taking great risk for what is ours not what is mine

I'm taking greater risk for mother nature

for you, for me

:

I'm making more room to sit with you...

in pain, in longing, in loss

I'm making more room to sit with myself...

in pain, in longing, in loss

I'm making more room to invite you to sit with me...

in pain, in longing, in loss

for you, for me

:

I'm going to hug you harder

I'm going to hug you longer

I'm going to let you... hug me

for you, for me

:

I'm buying less

I'm giving more I'm wasting less

I'm planting more

for you, for me

:

I'm spending more time with trees

I'm spending more time with children

I'm spending more time with elders

I'm spending more time in silence

for you, for me

:

I'm reaching across the aisle

I'm reaching across the street

I'm reaching across the divide

I'm reaching... further into me

for you, for me

:

more love

more freedom

more healing

more rest

more time

more spirit

more vulnerability

more nature

more wisdom

more humility

for you, for me
