I am a complex layer of life
stacked on top of each other
squeezed together by the
weight of thought
Making this being called me
Expressing generously, still
squeezed by protection underneath the weight of who I think I should be
I am creation
Compressed
I am who my next thought
allows me to be
I am is thinking me
Free flowing
Authentic,
Presents seeps
I am who you perceive me to
be
But underneath all of me – I
am dancing stacks high so the world can see that I love to express all of me – Layer upon layer of thought
compressed into a wonderful version of me I am pure quest seeking
learning, allowing, loving, letting the me emerge to fully express my complexity
Thanks Joe for always sharing...

Joe, it seems challenging to honestly express our light, love and authentic power in this world. Words feel too limiting. You should be proud of your commitment to yourself. Keep breathing and never forget your purpose.
