By Liam

To be human is to carry both light and shadow,

to walk the trembling bridge between longing for and belonging to,

to listen to the hush of the soul’s sensitive river

as it constantly calls you home to yourself.

You are not here by accident.

You were dreamt into being

by a love ancient and unbroken,

a whisper woven into the great silence of the universe

before the first dawn unfolded.

Within you, is the ache of wonder,

Is the tender sorrow of passing time,

Is the pulse of joy rising unexpected

like birdsong after spring rain.

Do not rush this becoming.

Let the unseen hands of grace shape you,

let your losses soften into wisdom,

let love carve its name upon your days and nights.

For to be human is to be broken and to heal,

to stumble and to rise,

to search for meaning in these quiet hours

and find, in the end,

that you were held all along

By Love.
