Devout

Devout I am,
As I am compelled to view
My vast archives within me,
The roads I took to get here…
I connect to rekindle,
The magic, the beauty,
That still can resonate with me,
Now.
Ah Yes, I have outgrown much,
That has been already lived,
But in remembering, Honoring,
The new there, that can still be found,
Within the past’s archives,
Living within my old selves,
That built me into who I am,
Right now, standing here.
Dipping in.
Upon going in,
Reconnects me to the backbone,
Of strength, of boundaries, of resilience,
I’ve had all along,
Going back in as to reflect and be reminded,
I am different than who I was then,
So I see, rekindle, connect differently,
All is new, new blessings, new lessons,
New healing, reveals, begins, restores,
As through who I am now,
Is being the loving intention,
That directs and guides more softly,
Every layer excavated
Excavated to be realized, accepted, 
Loved, to let surface, and be let go of…
Delving into the archives of ourselves,
We can, refuel and readjust.
Replacing our doubts, worries,
With the very backbone we still have intact,
Which helps us sort out what no longer serves us,
Reconnecting us to who we are now..
Leaning in without expecting conditions,
Without judgement, and outer opinions.
Leaning, dipping in,
Through love, light and forgiveness,
We can unblock many obstacles we are currently having,
And/or the ones to come,
By digging in, 
Being devout to our souls, hearts,
And the nutritional aspects of the archives
We have stored within us,
Providing for us still,
In movement,
In appreciating,
In awareness,
In its guidance,
In its openness,
In its reflection,
In our power,
To love and honor
All that we have now,
Is what we came from,
To get here,
To come to us through which,
We had to learn/unlearn from,
To reignite our truths,
To reignite, illuminating
All that is really here,
To be really here…
