who we are

i love that each of us is in detail and essence utterly unique. 

the first battle of our lives and sometimes the longest and hardest fought, 

is the battle with the many forces bent on providing us with compelling rationales to deny who we are, 

or who we are intended to be. 

that the strange need for this world to achieve a sort of homogeneity

 precludes the possibility of many to not only retain their uniqueness,

but to achieve the possibilities that that uniqueness might bestow,

is surely the saddest casualty of this battle.

the creation

as i understand it

is a creative unfolding event

of which i am one very small part

my place in the creation

is to honour

the obligation

of my existence

i do so

by waking each and every day

with the intention

of discovering more of my place

and purpose

and celebrating through my work

and wishes and dreams

and most especially my hope

my uniqueness.
