My Elemental self.
On the periodic table we have a list of elements that make up every combination of matter, seen and unseen, in the universe. What makes this significant is our ability to identify, recognize and feel secure in the knowledge that these properties remain constant and dependable.
I have lived in the body, mind and essence of an ambiguous personality. The conversation between my inner self and my outer self lacked authenticity and congruity, generating a disconnect between peace and belonging. I was alone and unknown.
But the good news is that, somehow, being in pain and feeling lost provoked a powerful need and hunger to make it right. I needed to find my Elemental self , the essence of who I was and what path I was on. I wanted to be identifiable yet unlimited. I aspired to finally be a recognizable element to myself and for the world. It required me to embrace the the life I was given. I finally accepted myself as an essential element to this moment in time and came to the threshold of choice. I chose to grow back into the simplest and best expression of humanity I can be, no matter what. And so I pray that...
May my Fire become a heart ever growing in love and compassion and joy.
May my air lift up my spirit above the outside forces of confusion and fear and may the universal spiritual force continue to guide me in my unseen pathway.
May my earth provide a more sure-footed path of conscious direction and intention.; a path where I can be found in support of my fellow man as the best human being I can.
May my water move with fluidity through the daily challenges of life and not pollute the world dissonant and disparaging actions. Rather may I be one who brings more life, cleansing, hope and clarity to the murky waters of negativity and fear.
I will stay the course and move towards embracing the life of my elemental self. Finding it is the journey; living it it's purpose and fulfillment.
