The Shedding of the Chameleon

Oh dear spirit, what has become of thee?

The innocent, accepting, trusting nature from birth.

Young child of pain, what does your heart long for?

Young adult, learning to hide thy true self; longing to be known, fearing the result.

Woman, mother now too; looking with love into the depths of your new baby's eyes. Daring to love her with all of your being. Making silent vows to love her with a love like you wish you had known.

Oh spirit, you have been found. Twas love that you needed to draw you out. The unconditional love of another. From One who can love you and did love you and does love you right where you are.

What makes you tick?

I mean seriously, why even get up in the morning?  What drives you?  What do you hunger for?  Do you see others around you or are you self-absorbed?  Have you ever spent any time contemplating why you exist?

These are all things I ponder...almost daily. Am I happy with who I am; with how I treat others; with the way I love; with my tendency to be self-absorbed; with my contributions or lack thereof into others lives. 

What drives me?  What drives you?  What do you hope to do with your life?  Where do you hope to be at some randomly distant point in the not so distant future?

Let's do....muse together......
