Out of the Darkness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shorter days. Nights of looking inward. Who am I?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Transcending thoughts, I sense a greater energy within me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cExpansion brings awareness,\u201d encouraged my Soul. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI already know myself,\u201d interrupted ego. Haven\u2019t I already\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0heard the story of a stranger,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 volunteered in a secure environment,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 donated anonymously?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go deeper! said my Soul, there is more than \u2018checking off boxes.\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n

What subtleties do you sense? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Birds anticipate the dawn, their songs expressions of being. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Morning is breaking with love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Into the Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

Incrementally longer days. Growth in unfolding. Who have I become?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Light beckons change, and I remember who I am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A greater awareness moves me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Recalling the earlier story of a stranger, now I witness without agenda or advice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Volunteering, I am guided now by a courageous heart. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Donating, I first turn inward, no need for calculations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Influenced by refined light and love, I make my way.<\/strong><\/p>\n
