A Life Well Lived

A life well lived

is a life full of clarity

of intention

of joy that was forged 

by making the hard choices

that felt true to the heart

by facing fears head on

never backing down

never choosing the path 

of meaningless distractions.

A life well lived 

is full of joy that comes from the core

from the healing of old wounds 

from radical acceptance 

of the self

from self-love, the one love

that gives meaning to all.

A life well lived

follows internal rhythms 

honors the higher calling 

deviates from the common path

faces the unknown 

And creates new trails 

for those to come.

Go right on, way-shower 

warrior of light

bask in your glory 

you were not created

to shrink, to conform or to follow 

you are the light

that guides the way.
