Better Days

One has seen better days

Yet still smiling ‘cuz

Many more are to come

In hours of fallow haze,

Releasing what one was

As the work has just begun

Mingling among inner ways

As a loner often does

Seeking what he will become

Snapshots caught within a daze

Simply flicker, as it was,

For the days are not done

Hearts now lit ablaze

As is what Spirit does

For the All is in One

One will see better days

And continue smiling ‘cuz

All return to which he’s from

Becoming by Design

The seed was always going to be a sunflower. It was planted. Watered. Fertilized. Received sunlight. The sunflower was patient. It allowed time and the elements to do their parts. It focused on being because it knew in order to Become it simply needed to be. Transitions are much like this. We only need be. Much is occurring within and in time the outer catches up. The blueprint was always there, but construction takes a lifetime. We’re all being built one step/layer at a time. Looking back to my early childhood I find my sensitivities, creative impulses, play, habits, interactions, and desires were all indications of my path. How about you? What activities did you enjoy? Where was your heart centered? How did you interact with others? When did you feel most true to yourself? Why (your motives) did you act/react in the ways you did? Where did you feel needed? How did you have fun? What gave you comfort?

I had many dreams when I was young, some came to fruition, others not. I’ve traveled many paths and learned valuable lessons. I am MUCH older now, and looking back I see the cycles and the seasons between that has had me exploring the themes of childhood over various ways. Of course, these versions have matured and even somewhat mastered in areas, yet those same callings are within me. The voice became louder until it became heard, and then it settled in to a soft knowing. One must learn when to work, when to rest, and when to play. And the soul is here to teach you how to do all these things.
