The answers we seek are simple, yet abstract.  We scrape and scour the earth. Are we the savages we appear to be?  Have we forgotten the light from which we came? Empowerment has made us brittle and insecure.  Fight not for our place, but weakness as we know it.  We are not whole; we are not brittle.  We are insurmountable, we are one galaxy, one star, one hope, one being…. We wander the planes, separate and alone.  Our bodies aching for what we deny.  We are denied the wholeness. We are denied truth.  We have denied ourselves the sacrifice for which we were promised – the promise of freedom, love and respect at the cost of pain, anger, of challenges and setbacks. We demand the best, yet we try to skip along the easy path and therefore we are denied the ultimate richness of the treasure we promised to ourselves.  So here we are.  Again.  To start over once more, to see the light for all it has to offer, the shine and sparkle which only the blackness of the dark depths can show. These are the answers – the ones that only few will take, and even fewer are willing to consider.  To live in the glory of all that is, we are required to stand and fall in the pain and darkness.  Do not fear these depths, for they are more beautiful than words or thoughts can describe.  It is the epitome of center, the seed from which we grow the most, the rainbow that arcs after the storm – that is what we are. You are all of that and more.  You are the One.  I am the One.  Until we are seen as the brilliant sparkles of dust that make up all that our eyes see and all we behold, we will continue to deny our passion, our purpose… our soul….
