Reborn.

The day decided to give it all away

I surrendered to the way 

I was made

Created

Birthed

Given life here on this earth

The day I decided to go

My own way

the opposite of astray

No

closer to his vision

the decision to come

into my own

 Waking up to new light 
new sight
on new blessings

unlocking doors that were meant to be lessons

jammed shut

banging banging banging on the door

waiting for just the right...

time.

 The day I decide to say goodbye

and yet hello 

all in the same wave
the same second
the same day

 smiling from ear to ear 

all the while knowing
the truth of it all

the root of it all

The day I stopped turning the knob

 allowing the door to open on its own

 sadness most times wets your palette for joy

tears the appetizer for eternal bliss

pools that well up like bubbles awaiting the spill
out of the tub

the overflow of love

its all you ever dreamed of

but it's nothing like you imagined

being here

is nothing I could've imagined 

The day I decided to learn what needed to be taught

Understanding life's the school

I the attentive pupil

God the dedicated teacher

and earth... our world the class.

Me green with fresh fallen ignorance

Of now
the how 

 the why 

 the when 
senses open listening acutely to the lesson given.

Class without a need for a black board

or chalk or books

so sit down and open your eyes
and look

out the window

at our huge open school

The bells ringing

I'm already seated

Excited to absorb the lessons that are needed

Nothing worth having has ever been easy

The day I decided to open my heart

close my eyes

trust my soul

Love my existence

The day I decided to live this life-time in non-resistance

That was the day

my life began.

Reborn.

Love & Blessings,
