An awakening... an assertion... words that proclaim…
And I realized it was the battles of my own life that had inspired me.
For in the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
In the midst of sorrow, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
-- Albert Camus
... and within me there be an invincible SELF...
the call of Spirit, Evolution, Love, Freedom ... and so...
No More
shackled no more for I am the wind free
silent no more for I am the thunderous storm
despairing no more for I am the dawning day
thirsty no more for I am lakes and rivers flowing clear
lost no more for I am the guiding stars
confined no more for I am vistas wide and far
hungry no more for I am bounty and harvest divine
this the awakened faith mine
this the awakened faith mine.
