It is hard to see myself
Sometimes
When I know how small
And inconsiderate I can BE
Sometimes…
As difficult as it is BEcause of all the weight I have given
The Past, and in particular My Past, to face myself in the mirror, I have
lately done this very thing, deliberately. With intention. And I
have to say I like who I see in there. I like her AND what’s more… I respect her.
And yet I still, at times, reflexively look away. Find other
things to DO, during my daily 2-minute mirror opportunities, when brushing my
teeth.
Recently I was challenged, encouraged, or mayBE just
prompted to DO this DELIBERATELY. On two separate occasions. What I learned is
the sort of stuff I’d have NEVER known by BEing an avoider. Very. Cool. Beans.
I am grateful for discovering a much more Real ME than that
one I dodged and avoided. For the courage to see the many tender bits of me.
The tiny green shoots peeking up out of the dirt. The glimmers of hope that seem
to actually shine off of my eyes.
Though I could see the wrinkles and that little 11 BEtween
my eyebrows, I mostly saw peace and someone at ease with who she is. And is
NOT.
I love you, Currie
