evolution

who i am becoming

I am evolving,

And it hasn't been neat or organized,

Or held to any degree of expectations along the way.

It has been a journey of authenticity,

Uncomfortable and confusing,

A fusion of Divine whispers and my relentless effort,

My will, my hope, leading the way towards something better,

Something grander,

Something capable of embracing us all,

With accountability as well as grace,

And forgiveness,

So much forgiveness,

We are going to need it as we continue to awaken,

From the self-inflicted amnesia,

And the futile attempts to fit our square pegs,

Into round holes.

But they're not for us,

They never have been,

They never will be,

And that's okay.

I don't want to be confined to any edges,

And I invite you to consider the same notion,

Vision,

And Dream.

It can come true,

It will come true,

If we all just continue honoring the complexity of our existence,

The myriad ways in which we've been ensnared,

And drained by the confines of our minds,

Trapped,

Tricked,

Treasoned,

Into conformity,

Trying to shed the essence that makes us unique,

Trying to forget the weirdness,

The wonder,

The wicked amazingness,

That resides deep within the recesses of our hearts.

I am learning to celebrate the ways I am different,

The ways I cannot march to another's drum,

Only mine,

And it's more than a march,

It's a dance,

A graceful flow,

A joy that I've long forgotten,

But not anymore,

Not anymore.

Culture, Conditions, and Circumstances,

You tried,

But you do not win,

I do.

I do.

this song is holding me and all these evolutionary vibes… what about you?

ps: thanks for being your strange self with me, as well as doing the work of coming more closer and clearer to who you are, what you hold, and all the gems of authenticity that are yours.
