In my beginning

In my beginning there were deep wounds inherited from those who brought me here

For a long, long, long time those wounds and the way I dealt with them colored every experience, every ray of sun, and the light from every distant star

But now I see deeply

And I choose to transform with understanding, humility, caring, and kindness those old wounds that lit my path with dark hues of black and grey

So I may abide calmly and walk freely through the dark watches of the night, and in the dappled light of day
