Our internal life
Refuses to stay hidden.
How we deal with trauma
And what we think we are worthy of
Invariably manifest themselves
In the texture of our lives-
How we love or fail to love
And how we make sense
Of the journeys God has placed us on.
Much is spoken about the great mountains
That we must climb
But true freedom is found
In finding the firm footing
Of self-awareness
In the cavernous canyons
Of our souls.
