new paths (4)

it's the you in all of it

it's not always the what or the how
but the you
in all of it
through all of it

no matter what is happening in life
your decisions, thoughts, beliefs
your feeling and processing it
your experiencing
yourself

you are at the core
right in the center
of the storm
transforming
moving, shaping, shifting
giving meaning to everything
co-creating
within the bigger picture
of this existence
this world

every breath
every beat of your heart
every gaze
meeting with the eyes of others
is a reminder
of your power
united
in valuing and needing
yes, desiring
one and the same thing
at the core
connecting
everything
in you
through you
beyond
you
me
us

what's happening outside
is actually happening inside, as well
like a mirror
we're reflections
multi-sided
gateways
to potential
realities
visions
struggles

there is no need to be scared
just as there is no need not to be scared
it is no requirement
to be without fear
to be without pain
to be without discomfort
or comfort

it all just is
what it is
and what it is not
it's an extension of who you're being
trying to be, to understand, to expand

change is not your enemy
life is not against you
it is for you
it will forever carry you
just like you are the foundation
essential to the temple of experience
providing space for nothingness
within which
everything can begin
and end
and so it is in you

you are in power
