Experience fell upon me,
Offering a new cloak, a new journey,
A new perspective.
It did not come at once but gradually,
Testing and teasing,
Evaluating my worth, my willingness,
My will.
It is still unraveling before me, daring me to dance, to follow,
To love
And I will,
Because only in living can I live,
Only in being can I be,
And only in loving can I trust, hope and flourish.
The destination is the journey, and it will continue as I do.
Becoming as I become.
Being as I am.
Me.
It's all there for us to know but first we must not know,
We must learn, we must grow, we must live.
