the change of little i

Thank you, Spirit, and all those who join me

i heard the offbeat vibration and i grew

you voiced truth to the i in me, i settled down

ego’s always troubled with big i, little i

but Spirit is not that way, nor is my soul

i learned that i could change if only i would receive

a cultivating beat of my heart, sipping a new vitality

i is mobilizing forces, defending itself in desperation

in fear of emerging shadow’s protracted conditioning

but i knows it must change, evolve, morph, and move,

the shift is near fruition, joy peeking from the horizon

sacrifices of blood, sweat, pain transmute into knowing,

i is beginning to view being in a collective collaboration

emerging in concert, the universal mind appears

in tandem, they play, transforming the infinite mystery

And alas, profound gratitude from a resurrected heart

i now knows it is no longer i, but I AM.
