The Prayer of Awakening

I am the seed that waited for its time.
I am the fire that never went out,
even through the darkest nights.

I am the silent step that walked through storms,
never forgetting the path,
even when all seemed lost.

Today I stop.
Today I breathe.
Today I remember.

I remember that I am not the pain I lived.
I am not the fears that gripped my heart.
I am not the chains that bound me.

I am Light.
I am Life.
I am the eternal spark no shadow can extinguish.

I walk upon this earth,
but I belong to the Heavens.
I love with this fragile heart,
but within me lives a strength no lie could ever bend.

Every step I take toward the light
is a step toward myself.
not toward who I was,
but toward who I finally am:
pure, free, infinite.

May every heartbeat remind me who I am.
May every tear cleanse the way.
May every encounter teach me love, compassion, and truth.

I am not here to conquer, nor to escape.
I am here to Be.
I am here to Love.
I am here to Remember.

May the sun warm me,
may the wind purify me,
may the earth ground me,
may the sky embrace me.

And may my path be a prayer.
May my breath be a song.
May my heart be a Home.

I am.
I have always been.
I shall always be.

So it is.
So it has always been.
So it shall be.
