Inspiration

Sarah's poetry inspired me to share a piece of my Tapestry experience. This was composed for a workshop with Thalia. Though gone from Tapestry, I feel it is still as pertinent today in my present state of affairs (a young woman seeking).

Who Am I?

I am the rational mind. I am disciplined. I am molded and shaped by my evolving definition of the ideal. I am whoever I choose to be.

I am also who I am not. I am not dissuaded. I am not content to accept the status quo. I am not accepting.

I am a single-minded person in a multi-faceted world. I am spiritual when it suits me. I am critical, but carry my glass half-full. I am tired of filling the silence.

I am battling myself to rescue myself. I am looking within myself to develop that which reflects outward. I am leaving myself and coming into my own.

I am seeking the Spirit. I am coming out of hiding. I am becoming.
