You drop the pieces, one by one.
Eventually, you drop the ones you didn’t want to have to.
But you need to.
You need to drop them all,
Examine every last entanglement,
Belief,
Connection,
Emotion,
Fear,
Until they lay in a pile at your feet.
“Where did this come from?”
“Is this actually TRUE?”

And then the emptiness comes,
A Dark Night of the Soul,
Falling through space with no ground below.
It feels like it will never end,
No daylight,
No future.
But it does end, because
There is always an end,
Nothing lasts forever.

And then you begin to create your own pieces,
Work your own puzzle,
And if you’ve done it correctly,
It is a breathtaking sight.
A freedom like no other,
To experience the purity of your
Own spirit,
The uniqueness of your own soul,
And its path in this lifetime.

It is the highest of the human experience,
To understand and own
Your gifts, your shadows,

Your humanity, your multidimensionality-
Your path.
And then to find others along the way,
That not only accept you,
But embrace you,
Solely for you.
Who walk beside you,
Joining paths as equals.
Witnessing your journey,
Creating together,
Loving the fullness
Of you.
