Home safe
I am barely a whisper of who I am becoming.
Sometimes I scream, but still, I am a whisper, and a screaming whisper is heard only by certain skilled ears.
I turn toward those who hear me; those who bid me to become full voiced.
I turn away, at last, from the safe and terrible sanctuary of those who fashion me into what they would have me be.
A slow thing; yes, slow is best; slow is how my progress is made.
As the translucently thin layers are peeled, I stand, bare, barely a whisper.
Becoming who I was born to be.
Tread softly here.
This is so lovely… and deep… makes me wonder if what one “is becoming” matters more than what one “is”… and how do we draw the line between the two?… and should we bother?Don’t mind me. I’m sleep deprived. 😉

“When we wish to visit you, and you are off being something you were not born to be, we can’t find you. We knock on the door, and no one’s home.” -Bashar, a channeled being who speaks through Darryl Anka. He goes on to say that it is only when we become our authentic self that we fit into the place that is meant for us in this great game of life. Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

Isn’t it something how we only just start to become who we were born to be later in life? I’m glad for the journey but I wonder what it would have been like for a glimpse of what I was meant to be back when I was younger. :o)
