Chapter 1 SURVIVAL

QUOTE: ANNE LAMOTT
“I do not understand the mystery of grace-
Only that it meets us where we are
But does not leave us where it found us.
BEING CARED FOR

TO be strong
Is to be vulnerable
Do not conceal
The weaknesses of life, altercation
On Love, Health, Fear or,
Indecision.
Make a stand, a soulful petition
Relinquish all holds
On the truth and be frank
Let it be
Let it be known
I am humbled and meek
In this Need for Care.
Being Cared For
Enables me to come out of
The darkness of denial
Ending this self-defensive spiral.
STEERING YOUR OWN WAY

Taking responsibility for one’s life
In many forms, is essential
Wake up and take the reigns
Your interest and proactive intentions
Opens so many doors in your Name
Staying dormant in wonder
Does not fuel the fire of our soul
It needs our breath and motion
To rise high and make us whole.

We cannot account for others choices
They alone, can lead their own destiny
Staying vigilant on steering your own way
Will bring you closer to the right path
To Freedom and Harmony.
