Dancing in the River With Both of Me

My two selves, internal and external, come together and flow apart like a rushing forked river throughout my days, months, and lifetime …

My outward social self - hyper-aware of other’s needs, fed by relationships, contacts, compassion, purposefully contributing to the lives of those in the world around me.

• Family dinners planned weeks ahead, hand-written notes and gifts to those suffering and celebrating.

• Schedules cleared for mentoring and sharing, learning with and from all ages.

• Listening to stories of human experiences interpreted positively and negatively. Some replenishing - others depleting - but still I listen, tapping my skill, my passion, my strength.

• Phone calls, zoom sessions, in-person time reminiscing, and planning future connections. This self has a tank full on belonging and purpose.

My internal self - away from others - in my own head - discovering my narrative.

• A quiet space to - breathe - feel- think- be.

• Hard to remain still for long. 

• This mirror is aging, maturing, more honest, authentic, balanced, and accepting over the years.

•  When observant over time,  power and peacefulness surface and the me - evolves.

I am both of me.

Flowing with others and alone. Sometimes gently and occasionally turbulently.

The glory of self shines brightest dancing in both 🌎 worlds.
