"I want to be enough..."

Hey guys. The blog-spiration just doesn't seem to be flowing right now. I'm prepping to start a 30 day all raw food challenge, though, and I think that will clear A LOT of the brain fuzz. Thursday is another new beginning. For now, I thought I'd share a little poem I wrote last week:

Lightworkers

She vaguely recalls
that she made the deal,
Sealed it with a kiss
of deepest gratitude,
And set off on a Journey
to heal the earth.
She was given no tool or totem,
no magic words or special skill...
Only a light
that flickered and grew wan within,
At every turn threatening
to extinguish -
Leaving her alone
in the blackness.
Still,
on she plunged,
A willing sacrifice
for the souls she loved.

If she could but reach upward,
seize the edge of the heavens,
and pull with all her might
Then all the stars
and all the suns
and all the moons
Would fall among them,
Bringing enough light
for eternal day to shine in each heart.
She knew what,
but not how.

Knowledge crept on cat's feet:
A lesson earned
from the Journey's toll.
If you press forward
toward the what,
The how will be exposed...
Tiny pinpricks of Truth
pointing out the tools to buy -
the totems to build;
Until the time when morning
would ascend from inside the Spirit
and reveal her,
A beacon of love,
A light to guide the path
of the weary souls to follow -
To fulfill their need to hope,
To lead them on
to find their own light within.

Also, this song is really inspiring me right now. Maybe go read my last post, then have a listen!

And if I were fearless
Then I'd speak my truth
And the world would hear this
That's what I wish I'd do, yeah.

 - Sara Bareilles "Let the Rain"
