Ascension cannot happen
without
stepping back
to examine one’s shadow.
Three steps forward and one step back
is still moving in the right direction.
To own the present moment and embrace
without expectation or disappointment;
to integrate and elevate and validate
in cycles of breath and breadth,
without seeking sated self in other,
is to shed dead weight.
I am free. I am free. I am free.
I have always been
intimately, utterly myself.
I invoke hope, and truth,
and communion and community.
I invoke Love to flow through me.
I am one with Truth’s Reality.
There is no fear that binds me.
No darkness blinds me.
I am light shining divinely through.
I am a crystallized sun and a holographic moon.
I am the rebirth, and I am the womb.
I bloom. I bloom. I bloom.
