Love and Light: from within...

from within...

I've found my way

by paying attention

my ear to the earth

my eyes to the sky

watching those around me

I've taken on things about others

as my own

only to discover my own self

thru their threads

I've copied

I've mimicked

I've adored

I've been in awe

Through every soul

I journeyed closer to me

Little did I know

they were reflecting

what was already

inside my own self

my own being

and by being

I became

So true! What beauty in your being and in the truth of your words;) Anne of green gables once said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I think perhaps it also transforms facets of being into our souls and bursts them out in a different form. I loved this. Creative and thoughtful;)

The beautiful revealing of self and soul. It is wonderfully wrapped into the lives of others and yet, singular.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.

The past, resent, and the future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." ~Anais Nin

"Process is more important than outcome. when the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we're going, but we will know we want to be there." ~ Bruce Mau
