When I am

When I am,

I am here… looking carefully.

When I am

I am here… looking wondrously.

Around,

and within,

without anxiety.

It is better to wait.  It is better to trust.  It is better to risk living.

Even in the darkness.

It is better to ask.  It is better to feel.  Better this

than to live in hiding.

Better this, than before

When I shut life out.

Life has opened; It continues to open.

Welcomes; It continues to welcome.

Calls, and continues to call…

I feel better when moving

forwards.

I can fall forward

I can fall back

When I am,

I am here, looking carefully

When I am

I am here, looking wondrously

Around

and within,

without anxiety.
