Transformation
Where to begin?
Why am I even here?
Haven’t I figured this out by now?
Ten years
Ten years, a battlefield, as I grapple with this thing called life
– Lows
– Highs
– Hurt
– Disappointment
Watching:
The sullen teenage, who doesn’t want to be here
The frightened child, terrified of getting it wrong
The wise woman, grounded and serene
The lost little girl, who simply hasn’t a clue
All the while searching
Desperately trying to figure it all out
Figure out why I’m here
So then I can take my “rightful” place on earth
I stop
I listen
I feel
I see
I taste
I touch
I see the absurdity of it all
The unnecessary hardship
It’s time
Time to let it all float away
Time to soar
Time to fly
Life’s not about figuring it out
Or even seeing the big picture
It’s about living
Living Now
And allowing chapter 3 to unfold
