Intro

I've been an ace girl

Offering much, grumbling low

And I gave all, all that was asked of me

When order was slow and vision was unrelenting

I never stopped long enough

To swim against the tides of old

And I was single-minded too much

To look toward this new true north

So now

Permission to be

Permission to slow

And do the only things that matter to me

The freedom to flow

To where genuine flows

And do the only things that matter to me

And sure, I've had my fun

Played with my roles

With time for a break hard-won

But then after a while

So much done by rote

No longer by inspiration

I've never stopped long enough

To see whose was this blind ambition

And I was not sanctioned to stop

And realize whose was this old mission

So now

Permission to be

Permission to slow

And do the only things that matter to me

The freedom to flow

To where genuine flows

And do the only things that matter to me

With this space by the dropping of weights

This license to obey

With this time really wait

So now

Permission to be

Permission to slow

And do the only things that matter to me

The freedom to flow

To where genuine flows

And do the only things that matter to me

The simple things that matter to me

The simple things that matter to me?
