Seeds

I want to become

Who I’m meant to be

But the seed knows not the flower

So I must be open

To new understandings

To all possible notions

And even what I can’t imagine

Without hesitation

Uncertainty

Or distrust

I want to become

All I’m meant to be

But the seed knows not the flower

So I must be willing

To let go of everything

Every truth I think I know

Everything I think I own

Illusions of scarcity

Security

And control

I want to become

The ultimate me

But the seed knows not the flower

So I must be ready

To break free of this tiny shell

To push through life’s heavy burdens

Trusting that beyond their darkness

A life-giving light

With everything I need
Awaits
