Brilliantly shimmering in just the right light, my heart heating up with confident excitement. Reluctantly stepping into this power I can feel the wavering of my steps only to jet my chin forward with courage and carry on. As my strides strengthen I suddenly stumble on a stone below my feet, sending me into an awkward, momentary flight, sprawling into the unpaved road.

Looking down, beginning to peal myself away from soil below, I smile, then giggle and know that stone assisted in grounding me with love and compassion. I send a kiss to the stone as a thank you. My shine slowly returns as the dust begins to blow away in the wind, eventually resuming my confident stroll, only now, with the slightest increase of awareness to the ground I walk upon.

The glory I bask in this moment I know to be temporary, as I have much to learn, I shall cherish every second of this feeling. My eyes gazing from the sky to the horizon taking in all its glory and wonder. What a gift it is to feel, smell and experience this incredibly sensual world. My heart full of gratitude.

My inner fire burns bright and hot, fueling the passion I bring into this life. The fire is what brings me great strength, courage and intense passion. This same fire is capable of scorching everything in its path if I allow it to rage uncontrollably. The daily balance I seek to keep the flame licking the air above, while containing its heat ever so softly.

This is me. This is the authentic part of myself. All of which I love more each day. Who are you!?
