Book III: To Break the Silence
Chapter V: Old Freedom Found


As I am

Through acceptance I have found hope.
In truth I have found love,
Dancing freedom, laughing peace,
To be cherished as I am
Embraced by love in the light of truth


I am surprised at how I feel turning in my square. I feel like I am giving up a part of myself to be exposed. When I think of all that I have poured into that hunk of wax, only to have it eventually melted again, my heart grieves a little.
