The Evolution

Swimming against the current;
Loving when I should Despise,
Giving when I should Withhold
Being there when I should be absent
Forgiving even before being asked to.
Embracing Integrity even when it would cost me.

Swimming against the current of my Humanness
Swimming against the current of my Unrefined Self
This is what it means to grow,
when one swims against the current that wrestles with their Soul.

You write in a way that really touches me and motivates me to try harder on this journey. Thanks again for this.

hmmm.... true words... growth comes from 'doing hard things'.... As the Harris twins so succinctly put it..

The hardest task in life is to continue to be you when all evidence points to the opposite. That is the Christian creed to swimn against the current. Love when it's recipocrated or not, give whether you recieve or not. help and don't expect anything in return.
