Humanness

I got in touch with my humanness today.

It has been calling for a while but-

I was always busy.

I didn't have the time

Or space

To really settle down and listen.

I had other ones to care for

Whose voices called louder in my ears

And whose needs were more pressing than mine.

But my humanness kept calling.

And in louder tones the more I didn't listen.

I became less human

Less forgiving of humanness...

In myself and others I am sorry to say.

But today I let it in

And out

And it moved thru me like my very blood coursing through my veins, carried to every inch of my being.

And it overwhelmed me,

But filled me

And Renewed me.

I became my heart

My heart became me

And now that we are one, I am more human again.

And now in my humanness I can see you, in yours.
