As
we often find many things come to our journey that we do not understand…
I am finding my way by living each day
sinking in deep to what life really is. Breathing in now and owning what I am
feeling in that moment. Often I want things to happen a certain way as we all
do, but I am learning to accept in when it does not. I am learning to find the
opportunity that it wants to reveal to me.

If I Do Not Understand
if
I do not understand,
what
life brings my way-
if
I do not comprehend,
what
helps me live each day-
I
hold my heart,
inside
my hands-
I
come to my answers,
without
demand-
though
crying and waiting,
is
part of the plan.
I
hold my truth,
to
my soul-
it
is my torch of light,
releasing
my night-
stepping
into my day,
I
let moment stay-
I
sink myself deep,
into
what my soul sees.
I’ve
come this far now,
not
looking back-
or
forward,
but
at what is –
turn
off my,
relentless
thoughts-
let
silence hold me,
in
restful embrace-
as
I breathe in now.
