It is when I dare to touch the lowest point
That I find a peak of light to lead me out of uncertainty.
When I embrace what I don't know
Is when the hidden peeks out and calls to me.
Though I desire new heights to achieve,
I cannot understand without knowing what lies beneath
As simple as skipping over may seem
I will not continue on without knowing how I achieved the climb.
It is in understanding the depths from which I came
That I hold confidence to continue forth.
Embracing my experience wholeheartedly
Is when I become what my adventure set me out to find.
This poem is a reflection on the importance of recognizing all sides of an experience and how they contribute to a full picture. The desire for an end-goal is motivating, but without being mindful of the journey I drop pieces that are necessary to continue on.
Awareness of low levels and how those levels built me provides me with resources to take forward. Embracing an experience in its entirety is what opens me to recognize all variables and can make an adventure of what I am meant to discover. With acceptance, curiosity and a willingness to grow, I choose to become alongside what life presents to me. Every experience is worth the venture!
