Walking alone
or with destiny,
I find myself at home.
A path chosen
in one moment
to follow the heart’s call.
Love flows in,
freeing my fear
finally letting go.
Living a dream,
still undiscovered
but uniquely it's my own.
I’ve found myself in many places over the years.
I often wondered if my search for home was a running from myself. In ways, there was accuracy within this self-assessment.
Home is an internal destination. It’s coming back to the truth of love living in your own heart.
However, it often takes the proper environment for this type of internal work to be supported.
I lived much of my life in “Hermit Mode.” In many ways, I still do.
I value solitude, quiet moments with the songs of nature, and the opportunity to allow the sun to nourish my soul.
My times of solitude, where I find the moments of zen, are no longer rigidly structured, but discovered in the spontaneity of the present moment as I’ve allowed life to become the meditation practice.
Stillness in my mind, accompanied with a willingness to love in my heart, allows me to enter the world as my most authentic version of self.
I am not the stories others tell about me, the programs conditioned into me through trauma and pain, or the societal stereotypes we tend to box ourselves into for the purpose of fitting in.
I am uniquely my own being, experiencing life with the recognition that this is a temporary experience.
What is there to fear when I realize I am not bound to rigid social structures, judgements, time, or even physicality?
I am all that is, can be, and ever will.
I am infinite possibility expressing itself. You are too.
With this knowing in my heart, as I explore the shadows I fear most, I have come to find a place I can call home.
Maybe it was always available to me and I simply didn’t possess the lens to perceive it.
But I now feel at home with the people who have come into my life, the love shared in timeless moments, and the infinite opportunities still present.
I don’t know what tomorrow brings, but I can safely say I know where I’ll be.
I am home within my heart, expressing love and shining a light of truth the world will eventually see.
