I am Divinity
July 27, 2008
I love myself so much that when someone leaves my life I know I’m ok. I know I have loved well. I am a Godess, I am beautiful, and I gave you my best. I know how to protect myself unequivicallly, instintively; because I value my life. I know how to say “no”. I am willing to betray you in order to be true to myself. My heart is filled with peace and joy. I love my time alone. I wake up excited for what the day brings. I enjoy my studies, language, violin, spirituality, yoga. I eat simply and organically. I invite friends into my home and cook for them. I travel, I love latin America and spend time there alone or with others. Somday I will live there. I do what I’ve onlyl dreamt of doing. I reach out to make new friends with people whom I value and respect. I let these people into my life freely and without fear. I find comfort in the company of women. I welcome in my sensuality, my sexuality, and the beauty of my age, wisdom, and life experience. I walk with my head up, and my light shines. I don’t have to hide the things I’ve collected during my travels just because they remind me of you and of happy times. They are a part of my life experience. I’m not afraid to speak my mind even if it makes you angry.I know I have stayed in my integrity and I uphold myself with this certainty and knowledge. I let you live and let you make your choices. I do not take it personally. I look forward to new, healthy, beautiful love from another. I love again. I look back, not with shame or guilt; but with gratitude for my experiences, painful or not. I love the people who have touched my life and thank them for the lessons. I realize that other people have their character defects… Perhaps they are sick. I do not take it on as my own. I know my anger. It does not scare me. I know how to express it well. I love my family. I have healed past hurts and love them for who they are. I can talk to them without experiencing trauma from the past. I have made amends to them and we are healed and united by our love for each other. I surrender my path. I know God protects me. I learn Sanskrit and feel the power of the words. I feel them. I feel the power of the words in the bible and I know they mean me too, for I am not forsaken. I know how to meditate, to sit still without having to do something, anything. I bring good smells into my home. My home reflects me. I have my own style and and express it well. I do not question this. I love rituals. I find joy in rituals… bubble baths, prayer, mediation. I listen to music even if it reminds me of you. I love music and dance wildly in my living room. I sing out loud…. in my car, at home, in the shower, even if I sing out of key. I am active in my sobriety. I belong to a community, and I give back with my time. I am free of judgment and intolerance, but I am not a saint. I swear like a longshoreman sometimes, but I am eloquent and soft spoken. I am free. I surrender daily. I am all of these things and I am joyous. It’s what grounds me. I feel empathy. I do not question myself except when I know I’m straying off my path. I stay open, honest and willilng, always willing. I am acceptance. I am a child of God, loved, redeemed and called by name. I am not afraid.
