If perhaps you can only make a real discovery once in your
life, let it be that of yourself.
Let it burst like water over a dam;
Sound, like the crash of waves that a sea throws against the
base of a cliff – causing a drenching, a refreshing, an
anointing.
Let it be like a baptism sending you out into the world with
clothes wet and clinging so that at last you may be outlined
definitely. No longer hidden, but described as an outward
shape – made beautiful in your obvious presence.
Here is your self made solid in clay. Each line and
curve describing some aspect made tangible, perceivable,
real!
For it is now and you are here: wholly yourself, and
made flesh in a birthing whose experience leaves you
breathless, new … alive.
And your voice, out in the wilderness, repeats over and again …
I am made

AUTHOR: I am might war. I have a love of music, the written word, travel, Anime, polar bears, people and “sticking and colouring”.
Yes it engaged! It made me pause long enough to read it, reread it, and think about the “I am made”. It makes me want to slow down and appreciate being where I am, and just ‘being’. Made me think of another blogger’s post about sitting by the ocean and just sitting there to enjoy ‘it’.
A moment of quiet and stillness by the ocean never fails in reviving me and making me thankful.
I am intrigued by the post that you mentioned, Chatter Master. If you remember where you saw it, please can you drop me a line? I would like to read it too.
Enjoy! 🙂
