A poem on bringing your best self.
Germination of any great work:
an arduous process
bringing forth
(continually)
the Good into reality.
Here,
resistance too often
takes root
obscuring
responsibility
when called to undertake
any aspect of
life’s hardest tasks.
In these moments
reckon
with what’s greater than ego,
choose a loosening
of self into service.
The deepest
purpose here:
illumine beauty,
smoothing away dust
recovering
submerged wisdom
rising to the surface
like a thousand small gems,
sitting briefly like dew drops
ready to pop into light.
Make your presence like this:
receptive to illumination,
ready to sparkle.
Take these jewels,
let them sink
into your caves.
Then — shine.
