The Twist of My Path – The Twist of My Story

As I wandered down the path
Back to the car
To drive back home
I decided the love from the moon;
The love from the stars;
The love from the trees;
The love from the grass;
The love from my ancestors;
The love from my family;
The love from my extended family;
The love from my friends -
All of this is big.
And what if my cup already runneth over?
What if when she comes it's more about
 the partnership than the love?
Because after all the love is already here.
Pouring out from everything, everyone, and every situation
It's already here.
From all the kids I taught;
All the teachers I inspired;
And the ones who inspired me;
All of nature, family, friends, and Divine Love herself.
How can I yearn for something that already exists?
That is already here.
In full fashion,
Shining its glory
Waiting for me to receive it
What if all along I already had everything I was seeking?
It was all here dormant because I looked past it, 
beyond it, or through it
    and not at it?
What if the story I had been telling myself was 
a sucky, sad one of lies?
What if the truth is I am loved, loving, 
lovable, and pure love?
Just because that is my true core 
and the means of my existence.
The funny twist of the path 
paralleled the twist of my story.
I breathed in deep,
Let go and said, "It's all enough already 
and now 
      I can sleep a beautiful sleep 
knowing I finished -
Knowing I am whole and complete already."
