"We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples’ models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open."
-Shakti GawainSUNRISE
This morning
while you were locked away
nestled deep
and dreaming of all that you might become
a giant ball of fire
crested over the hills
and rose into the sky
spilling light in all directions
providing life
for everyone
and everything beneath.
It was a glorious sight
magnificent in scope and power
free for all who cared to watch
yet it came
with no fanfare
no countdown
no songs of revelry
no parties in the street.
It arrived
set to the white noise chorus
of sprinklers,
hastily-drawn curtains
neglected alarms
and muttered curses.
It arrived
on time
with no help from computers
news networks
or non-profit organizations.
It arrived
just as it will tomorrow
and the next day after
simply
slowly
quietly
so as not to disturb you
while you are locked away
nestled deep
and dreaming of all that you might become.
"You’re only as tall as your heart will let you be. And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem. When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall, just look on the brightside, you’re roughly six feet tall."
-I am going to remember this always, especially on days like these when my light doesn’t burn quite as bright as it should.
this is why we are here. not to work, or to earn money. to be around each other and to find happiness in that simplicity. i just wish everyone could understand that instead of punishing themselves with this false sense of security.
i know exactly what my dreams are, but they feel a million miles away.© Kristi (via Beauty in Everything - Photography)
