Paradox
Who I am?
What truth do I behold
You can’t understand
You can’t know what you don’t care to know
Our earliest life memories
Can get anchored in the mind
If not well discerned
Tragically - life gets stuck – life gets defined
Past memories hold Pandora’s key
The future - who knows
Lessons learned from the pain
We manifest – new life begins to flow
A metamorphosis occurs
It’s your life story - be bold
Awareness – all of life is a true blessing
Who would have guessed – nobody told
Pain is necessary
The struggle provides growth
That which does not kill us
Ironically – makes us whole
Ultimately - we are the answer
We already possess all we’ll ever need
So open your mind - think clearly
Now go forth planting seeds
