It took some time to set you free,
I searched for the key,
but it was so long ago I
forgot it was at my very center;
my blindness hid you,
then I forgot you,
I shrank and dried up,
ever diminishing,
till one day
I stumbled on a clue,
love,
self,
which released you,
running, grinning, bouncing, leaping,
thirsting for life.

The key …love self. An amazing message that should be easy for us yet we make it difficult for ourselves taking many detours before we reach it again. Thank you, Paul.
