Rite of Passage

“The streams are in my veins”
                                   quote from the sponsor

Guided
Through the ages
Endowing the future
An heir aroused by sage wisdom
Ancestral blood pumps and streams through my veins
A pulsating rhythm from the heart
through life’s restless currents,
A destiny
Guided

Destiny is what guides us through the waters of turbulence and victorious moments of survival, fate is the concrete player in our lives, but we need not see it as un unmovable obstacle, we forge through in Faith and Love, love your deep heart , there is a well of passion inside of you . It makes for a great writer, thank you for sharing, love xo
