A Memoir

Today we remember our past.
Reminiscing on all the times we shared –some bad.
But for the most part – good!
Refreshing. Stirring. Thrilling. Delighting.
We collectively as one unit exist because of those before us beginning a dream.
And look what it turned out to become.
A family.
And I am honored to be apart of one.
As a worker proud of a day’s work.
Or a mother seeing her child for the very first time.
Similar to a student earning all A’s for the semester.
Equal to the rising of the sun as it gazes over the earth time and time again.
We are all here by choice.
Though unexpected.
Time will reveal the spirit of our being,
Predestined to fulfill the acts of our ancestors.
To live happily. Freely. Abundantly. And with more.
Never unyielding the blueprint of life.
We are all part of a bigger picture.
Worth more than a thousand words.
Worth more than silver or gold.
Worth more than all the richest of the world.
Building upon and continuously pursuing onward.
As we redefine the links circling the bonds which hold us together.
We exist.

Discovery

Today, I write humbly to avail the inner thoughts weighing on me.
As I release my compassion for others.
I thirst for the same devotion, extol, and rumination.
It is in this moment of reflection that I am exhausted due to my over commitment to something beyond me.
Beyond you.
Though I struggle with this very thought.
It is that I am…. acknowledging….
It is that I am…..
It is that I am acknowledging my own deception.
My own defeat.
But I feel as though I must prove you wrong. There has got to be some solution to all this lunacy. To all this that I am struggling with.
Where is my balance?
As I solve this equation.
As I complete my puzzle.
As I come to this the end of my travels.
My map has concluded.
My treasure unfound.
My discovery begins once again.
