Poem of the Week: Resilience Builds Strength...

Life lessons can come and knock us down,

But we live and learn in ways so profound.

Revealing the shadows that hide deep inside,

Igniting the Light of consciousness to guide.

Embracing the good and the bad together,

Accepting oneself in all ways and forever.

Pushing through when the pressure is on,

Each trial and test exists to make us strong.

Holding steady through shifts, quakes, or pains,

Discomfort can lead to much bigger gains.

Staying present with the gift of each moment,

Receiving blessings and making atonements.

Inner power builds from self-Love and mastery.

Reaching inner peace to the greatest capacity.

We only need to choose to focus within,

The personal journey is where we begin.

The more we grow and learn who we are,

The higher we rise so we can go far.

We only are given what we can handle,

Overcoming darkness by being the candle.
