thank you....

This mad mad frenzy to get somewhere,
Thank you for making me stop....even though it was painful....

This obsessive need for praise and approval, this inadequacy so deep,
Thank you for letting me see that in my bareness I was as beautiful as You.

This body that was moving faster than lightening, a mind that would not set it free,
Thank you for filling peace into the cells again.....thank you for giving it rest.

These people....the hurt they had caused me, the hurt so so deep, that I stopped feeling,
Thank you for letting me feel again, thank you for allowing me to open up again...

This pain...this pain that runs so deep.......so deep as though it would cover all the oceans and more,
Thank you for letting me see it....thank you for letting me see it so that I can someday hope to step out of it.

This "me" that I have become so obsessed with, this "me" as the beginning and the end,
Thank you for showing me my limitations....thank you for letting me know that there is a You beyond this "me"....

This love that I wanted to feel so bad and believed somebody was out there to give it to me....
Thank you for showing me that love was the main ingredient that you used to make me.....

Thank you...........today I just feel like saying..........thank you.
