Experience the gift of freedom
You are greater than you imagine and fiercer than you roar
You are on the eternal path of existence, which can be mastered no more
Your spirit is great and your mind is vast
Dreaming up options, opportunities, blocks and descents
Allowing you to walk the path gracefully or face the fire
None if it is wrong, it’s the journey of the individual
The great seeker the endless lives sought, found, and lost
The experiences, the memories all contained in a single seed, a single cell
An imprint in the soul
The soul that can create magic, peace and joy
That can sustain life as long as it needs to then pull away to its next journey
When you change your perspective of life and stop fearing death or failure then you are free
When you stop the critical eye and judging of others and yourself then you are free
When you face the fire with an open heart and don’t let opinions knock you down then you are free
You walk your path with courage and grace feeling more free, open and vulnerable knowing that’s where you’ll find your peace no matter what is going on around you.
You expose yourself to more beauty and opportunities than your mind could imagine and you face challenges head on with your grace and dignity as they are not battles to shy away from or avoid, they are battles you are prepared for to face with honesty and an open heart – your natural states. All can be done by shining in your true natural element. The peace and grace you seek is already there like a seed ready to sprout.

Musings about the poem
What if for a second you could imagine that there is nothing to fear, not death, not challenges and not failure? What if you were told as a small child that you couldn’t screw up in life and you are embarking on your own journey to have certain experiences? That if you stop labeling things as good or bad, wrong or right, failure or success then you can be free.
If you knew that challenges were not to be feared or avoided and are part of life and growth. Challenges in which you have the tools for and can face with an open heart instead of resistance. How would your life change?
You would know that you are exactly where you need to be and you can stop carrying around the heaviness of regrets, self-judgment, judgment of others, and worrying what other people think of you. You can take the pressure off yourself as being a failure in some areas of your life and you can trust that you will leave your body at the exact moment even if it appears sudden or tragic.
You can create more faith and trust in your life and know it’s safe to be you all the time and challenges are not a sign that you did something wrong. You can feel free to be you the pure, joyful, vulnerable, loving you.
