Cherish-able Self

Cherish-able Self

2/18/10

I smile as I write

thinking finally it is happening,

having come to love myself

for how I show up

as unique vibrant manifested Spirit

within ego called Kevin Spitzer,

who's being drawn toward Life

in myriad ways and interests

after making it through heartache,

hardship, challenge, risk, joy, success,

still able to laugh hardily

at myself and world's debacles,

while deeply appreciating the ride

taken with everyone I know

no matter difficulty of lessons

learned on path to grave,

and this is the crux,

that you, my friends, family,

circled around in transitioning times

when I was stretching, breaking,

struggling to emerge, find Truth

of who I really am,

all the while you whispered

prayers into ether surrounding me

so they entered, awakening soul

asleep to Light 'I AM',

realizing my part in whole

plus responsibility to really embrace,

then share, my cherish-able Self.
