 I am as I shield,
I am as I project, I am as I say, I am as I think, I am as I do, I am as I believe, I am as I will, I am as I can, I am as I try, I am as I express, I am as I construct, I am as I begin, I am as I illustrate, I am as I bridge, I am as I unhinge, I am as I fuse, I am as always, As I choose, Within every moment, Whether I feel awake or asleep, I am as I choose, To be, to think, to say, to do, To bridge, to disengage, To grow into, to become, And so it is, My light, my darkness, My contrasts, I develop My, know how...

 Something we overlook,
Our bodies, Something we ignore, Our bodies, Something we use, Sometimes even abuse, Because we are ashamed, So we blame, shame, Ourselves within these bodies... Something we take for granted, Sometimes even forget, To honor, respect, love, Is our Bodies. Somehow even though OUR body Is our transportation, We forget to be dedicated, To its Honor, To its Respect, To its Love, Our sacred, Our beauty, Fascinating wonder, To care, to tend to. We displace it, We displace ourselves So far outside, leaning and grinding At the wheel of keeping up all activities, And engagements, That we misuse, Ourselves and get mad at the world, and/or ourselves, Instead of being dedicated and devoted.. I love my body, For it holds my mind, my heart and this soul, All that power, fuel, motivations, Contained in this beautiful Body, I have and I am to Be captivated by, Be empowered by and with, Have affection for, Have respect for, Have truth, trust for, Think the world of, Thrive with, Inquire into, With perseverance, With resilience, With admiration, With recognition, With whole acceptance, With authenticity, Worthwhile! I love me, myself, and I, Wholly, truly, majestically, Thoroughly through, There’s beauty in my every flaw, Scar, freckle, tear drop, I have went through, Went into, traveled through, paved, Built, created, all here with all my years This far, within this body, this life, We have lived, Dear Body, I love you, Thank you, I am sorry for not listening To all those signals, Please forgive me, As I learn more each moment, On how we care for one another, I will celebrate us more often, With care, with joy, with our combined Strength… I love you, I love us, Thank you for having me, Thank you for being so good to me, Thank you, 100 times fold, For all we have overcome together, We got this! I’ve got you, You’ve got me, Together and everyday We live, we shall rise together, More beautiful and more magnificent Each moment, each day, each month, Each building and expanding year… I love you- Self delving into self, Ever evolving together.. -Body speaking to mind, heart and soul! Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror We are amazing beautiful wholly, entirely, Infinitely, yes we are, each of us are no matter If we are naked, clothed or have make up on, We are organically, imperfectly perfectly, Ravishing!  My anchor word,
For each day, For each moment, For each experience, Feeling, sway to the winds, Warmth of fire, Every droplet of water Whether it be from the heavens above, My eyes, or a faucet, With the earth my heart is rooted too, Where I have sprouted and transported to, How I resonate, How I go, How I be, How I climb, How I process, My go to, My centering, My balancing, My becoming, My all, I Honor, I am honoring, Every aspect, Every element, Impression, expression, Expansion revolves, evolves me… I Honor each, I honor myself, I honor what is here, I honor what is shared, I honor the uncertainty, The known, the learning, I honor all that grows me, I honor the ways that pave Growing me, more truths, more discoveries, More adventures, more to savor and receive Of life, of within me, of outside of me, I Honor… Honoring each and every piece, Part, not whole to whole, However, all strides… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror I love my sacred, Whole self, Inside out, Outside in, Intuitively, Physically, Mentally, Intimately, Emotionally, Spiritually, Verbally too… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror   In the avenues of previous experiences,
What is within our own thinking that Breaks us, shakes us, fracturing us more.. Allowing fears to live presently, Allowing us to get lost in its circus, Allowing all excuses to be used as reasons, Allowing every ounce of our strength to drain from us, For whatever we imagine, overthink, assume. Allowing that to confine us to “What we think were worth,” Or “How we can so easily compromise ourselves, to settle, To put up with, to not move forward, to hide, to deny, To say, we have the proof we already need, has been gotten,” Though we have sincerely already outgrew, Each of those “There’s.” In the avenue, here at our feet, Here within reach, of this right now, Here…. Why do we allow so much of our past To be the “Dictator,” To be used and abused at our cost, To be what, how, why, is determined... Incubating ourselves, Invested in our inventions, Of perpetual “Hellish,” cycles/patterns, Because “WE’RE USED TO THIS!” Assembling ourselves for nothing, But STRAIGHTFORWARD SELF SABOTAGE, And yet we project blame outside of us, Instead of actually leaning in, Owning, honing ourselves. Realizing and connecting that all that came before this, Were lessons, blessings, connections, For us to MOVE FORWARD, For us to FACE, For us to WORK THROUGH, For us to GET BETTER at LIFE, Get better at learning, unlearning, Living, letting go, Growing, and most of all, Because of our past, We know our boundaries, BECAUSE WE had those lessons, To get wiser.. Not to rinse as forget, And repeat over and over again, Until our hearts have bled that last drop, Hardened, bitter, never able to outrun assumptions, Making them into only deceitful facts. CHOOSING, “Never,” consistently! Enabling our habit, our history, So what we already did, so we do… In the avenues of previous experiences Its okay to stumble, its okay to crumble, Its okay to hit the wall, its okay to change attentions, Directions, paths, beliefs, its okay to make mistakes, Its okay to unbecome, its okay to slip up, Its okay to regress, its ok to grieve, Its okay to not do anything temporarily, Its okay to not be ok, its okay to feel discouraged, Its okay to not have anything or everything together, It's okay to let ourselves be! Its okay to be stumped, to be confused, its okay to feel, It's okay to think, it's okay to say, hear, be, do, Shut out and unplug, as to disengage, But in My book, inside the knowing of my own heart, Even when we don’t feel it, don't see it, Try to hide from it, deny it, try to project, Or protect it... WE GROW!!! IT happens, Subconsciously, consciously, Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, It happens, organically! Be engaged in it, CONNECT! Be “REALLY,” here, we have a great resource Within us, ALSO from what we gathered along the way, And all that is here, plus what is yet to come… Let the avenues so quickly approaching us, Be invested in, Trusting the process, Allowing the progression, Letting yesterday's stay in the yesterdays, Working through, healing, Changing our wording, believing, becoming, Being, to all that is now, new and us Outgrowing what was. Transmuting into what is us learning, To embrace the new, Beginning again, Learning every moment, Always allowing that unbecoming, To be OUR BECOMING, Something better, Something fantastic, Something new, Something true, Something unleashing all possibilities, We GET to choose to look at, differently, Because right now is different, Than what we have already lived through, That got us here… Utilize all the nutrition From the days before, Utilize all that lays within us now, So we can LIVE, Learn, LOVE, soar, SMILE MORE as to align, To realign, readjust, reclaim our way, our voice, our truth, Our attraction, and be our gravitation of our own rhythms.. Making sense to make sense, Making ourselves to make something, Build, face, deal, create, heal, flourish, Thrive… All we have to do, is break the molds Within us, that keep us, BLOCKED. “Getting ourselves OUT of our Own ways!” Onto Unlocking, unleashing, shedding, All the rays of light we truly behold, Choosing refinement and evolution over confinement! Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror All is well, can be, will be, when we choose to Grow, Not knowing everything because now hasn’t happened, Before today! I am capable, I am equipped, I am proof, I am all I need, For whatever storm comes, For whatever comes, I can and I will, Overcome, Surpass, Achieve, Through the love I am growing, To become, day in and day out. Builds me, my strength, My courage, my trust, my abilities, My truth, my movement, My directions, my choices, Widens & expands All that I was, into who I think and know myself to be. For all that is coming, to become, I am capable, I am equipped, I am proof, To which I prove to myself over and over again, Just how far I can go, Just how strong I am, And my determination will never diminish, Just as the light is within me, Watch me go, Watch me grow, Watching myself, Cycle through, Become.. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror I create Miracles!   To soften my path,
To soften my sight, To soften my thinking, To soften my believing, To soften my knowing, To soften my being, I went where I had never gone before, Felt what I have never felt before, Allowed an acceptance of unknown, To experience life in new ways, Like I have never before.. Allowed the pain, the thickly intense Tensions and fear I had before, Transport, transmute, transform me, While being in its middle storm, Unclear of what was coming, But empowered by what all came before, Somehow, even though I was scared, I found my footing, I found a way to navigate, Within the never before now’s that became my present… Allowed all that was transpiring be what it needed to be, Allowed all that was there, be here, be accepted, Be felt, be expressed, be allowed the spaces it was Just in works of creating, such spaces to be emptied and filled, Intuitively, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically…. Though it felt like hardening, restricting, it was nothing, But my very own resistance of the unknown, Having to leave, let go of all that was known before, All that was, becoming what I built my comfortable with, I unbecame, I unlearned, to rediscover though I felt displaced, I surely was not displaced, disconnected, distraught, I was discovering, exploring, overcoming, becoming What I needed to get through… For all the aches and pains I allowed myself to surrender too, For all the inabilities I thought I had, For all the moments I felt that giving up tug, For all that I was scared of, For all the push back, For all of the uncertainties, I engaged, approached, went through, got through, With love, with strength, with trust, with faith, with hope, With positivity though it didn’t feel like anything good, But drowning, loss… It truly, sincerely wasn’t, Wasn’t as bad as my fears lead me to believe, To force myself to resist, I Let go… I accepted, I was okay not being okay, I was okay with this discomfort, I was thoroughly through this storm, okay. I became my proof to just how much I have learned, I can handle, I can weather, though it felt threatening, And I was worn out most moments, meanwhile the storm was approaching, Becoming, and felt relentless while within it. Allowing discomfort, Allowing uncertainty, Allowing myself to be whole, while feeling blown up, Blown outta proportion, scattered, torn, So did those, so did I, so did all, Contribute to the otherside. As all, Always connects, always becomes full circle, To where I am now, From all the not knowing I've had thus far, We do get to a clearing, That gradually always softens, Softened I am, where I am now, I am building, creating, experiencing from, Though it was quite an adventure and challenge, I am here, still… I am learning still, And oh how I still amazingly grow, Overcome, rise and keep at this beautiful Moment constantly giving me moments, I not only want but need, To carry with me forward, That softens me still, For I am not done with my work, My progress, my ascension, My unbecoming to become... Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror  I had no choice, But to relinquish control, And where that left me, Was within what was there, Which added experiences to What is here with me, To take forward.. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Proof! Sitting within uncertainty, Feels like an eternity, Uncertainty plugging along, Allowing each now to be felt, Observed, experienced, For each part of its rollercoaster, Trying to stay positive, While scared shitless, The days, weeks, months, Go on, we go on… Living within those moments, Those days, those weeks, Felt like eternity, But now looking back, It was merely quick, Digesting all that transpired within me. The strength it took to get me from one moment to the next, Unreal, but I overcame, I faced, I made it through, Though it felt like though I could Smell the roses, see the sunshine. The not knowing used up my smile, Consumed my presence, With its shadows, And I stayed mostly positive, Mostly there... Allowing myself, To let myself be in the unknown, Letting myself not be okay, Letting myself be okay with not knowing, Everything now feels but a nightmare, The kind of one, I have a hard time forgetting. Something out of my control pushed me into The place outside comfort, Off shores, sailing into a smog, But These recent days, I have come to the otherside, And all that I did not know, I know now, Has surprisingly, come full circle… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Healing now, as I have come To the otherside, there is now An understanding of what uncertainty holds, Offers, gives, shares, becomes, As it was fully embraced, No choice but to be there, Became the building blocks For whatever could come my way, I can and will always be able to navigate Through…  |
