 Understanding Myself

I'm smiling as I write this one,
For as you know, this is slippery.
Elusive as catching my shadow;
Understanding myself; discovery.

Balance in movement is the key;
Familiarity with my motivations.
Learning what shapes my life;
Understanding myself; expectations.

Acknowledging my habitual patterns;
Mapping the underlying currents.
Placing the borders of exploration;
Understanding myself; deterrents.

Climbing the tree, seeking the fruits;
Tasting the life that is within my soul.
Constrains with loving care is placed;
Understanding myself; control.

Seeking peace that comes from unity;
Looking for wisdom and courage, both.
Walking the trail into my destiny;
Understanding myself; growth.

Gentle waves of progressive change;
Slowly modifying my thoughts; eroding.
Suddenly, a new horizon is visible;
Understanding myself; exploding.
