The Arc of Time
Moments merge in the crucible of experience
Yielding a harvest of memories that meander through decades of life
I am an earthen vessel intentionally designed; created with purpose, created for purpose
Delicate, discerning, daring
Embracing life as a curious, tumultuous adventure; at times ordered, at other times, a beautiful mess
Naïve, idealistic, creative
Thoughtfully, provocatively questioning and pondering threads from the fabric of life
Imaginative, irrepressible, with an untameable desire for knowledge
Tenacity tethered by intuitive wisdom, timing, and the passage of time
Youthful vigour, bitter-sweet blossoming, blooming, becoming and being
Dare I permit circumstances, opinions, or rhetoric to muddy my mind and disempower my warrior spirit
Enough – I will not permit riotous noise and pain to subjugate the ultimate, unseen, preordained reality
For I know who I am
I am an image-bearer; I come from a lineage of Warrior Women - it’s encoded in my DNA
Not superhuman
Emboldened, eyes wide open - I navigate my journey with circumspective wisdom
Strength that embraces vulnerability; looking ahead, while pondering what legacy I will leave behind
Mercy found me. Grace keeps me.
Eternity awaits.
