Quiet Sunrise

Sunrise at Arapaho Bend Natural Area – 2021

It is a wonderful day in our life
when one is finally able to stand
before the long, deep mirror of one’s own reflection
and view oneself
with appreciation, acceptance and forgiveness.

On that day
one breaks through the falsity of images and expectations
which have blinded one’s spirit.

One can only learn to see who one is
when one learns to view oneself
with the most intimate and forgiving
compassion.
