i recall being jaded
the days when i scoffed at the possibility of the divine
the certainty i fostered that everything must be quantified to be accepted as reality
it was a time of reckless rigidity
a defiance toward anything bent on bending my opinion
and my dedication to not only preserving, but nurturing, this mind state was emphatic
i see the folly in this fool’s errand now
in the moments when my heart swells with pride at the words of a stranger
how emotion can be transmitted through vibration
if that is not divinity, then surely it does not exist
rather than oppose it, i choose to stay
slowly, i’ll rebuild my life in this new frame of mind
expanding beyond it with time, but never limiting myself to the bounds of its foundations
in this phase, i will know growth
with the hope that, in the next,
limits will have ceased to exist
