Inner Growth
Inner growth happens in spurts
Like growth spurts in a teenager
They come with time, introspection and experience
Inner Growth cannot be forced.
It comes of its own accord
When we are in tune with it.
It comes like a light bulb, illuminating the dark corners of our minds.
It is exhilarating and we cling to it
Like a drowning person to a life raft
Hoping it will get us closer to shore.
What is the shore? It is full enlightenment.
What is full enlightenment? It is truth.
Truth about ourselves, about others and the world around us.
Growth can guide our thoughts, motives, and actions.
It is there for the picking, if we want to take the time.
