beloved, fit to be loved.

Who are You?

 it's a funny thing "who we are." 
our breadth & width obscured; 
functionally we're either the sum of our fears
or freedoms
depending on the day | situation | person.
maybe saint or wolf, but sometimes neither.

i am: 

incarnate
embodying what came before
& harboring that which is yet to come.

buoyant
rising up, past, around all that
desires to contain, suppress & maim.

expansive
truth and words of spacious presence;
generous invitations to come. be seen. known.

strong
absorb & contain
i carry biographies; bright beauty birthed in broken places.

but also this:

dishonest
rebellious, stumbling in dark drear
fear-bound, hard-hearted lie believer.

isolate
hostile heart disintegrate - thief of love -  
hiding behind intricately pieced-together detachments.

and yet, always, 
always,
i am beloved. 
carried in & by THE story, tethered.
convergent narrative-led love. oh, Kingdom come.
