Coming Out

9/19/11

There's something powerful in being seen

for who one is at moment

on long winding road of Life,

where people met reflect goodness back

with every smile, twinkling eye, laugh,

especially if heartfelt appreciation is spoken

specific to vital qualities, abilities, emerging

beyond normal patterns identified for years

as that 'being who you are',

this is discovery not revealed readily

if kept busy with mundane duties

or unwilling to risk past significance

because afraid of new world entering

through backdoor following natural easy inclinations,

those simple activities that bring joy

in between all the habits demanding

attention when clothed in old personas

worn thin from overuse for security,

it's allowing Soul Light to shine

original, naked, rare, with real Love

which oozes inspirational enthusiasm toward others

living in this Mystery we share,

all of us awakening each day

to virgin opportunities promising great surprise

when learning more about elusive 'Self'

by coming out into Great Unknown.
