I went on a journey inside my self and saw a little friend hiding behind an oak tree.
I saw her and said "hey sweet heart come on out, don't be shy! It's just me and you in this place."
Quietly my little friend came from behind the tree took my hand and
We began to walk...
Further...
and
Deeper...
Into my self.
What I noticed when I found this friend, from the moment I held her hand, I began to relax.
I forgot what it meant to worry.
She comforted me and I comforted her.
I soon asked why she was hiding and this was her response:
"I felt alone.......
I felt scared......
Like I was missing a part of me......
Then...
You came along....
And now...
I don't feel that anymore..."
The whole time this new little friend of mine was talking,
I couldn't help but think of how I felt the same.
Then I looked down at her as she looked up at me, and for the first time I really noticed her.
She was familiar too me.
I knelt down so that we could be eye to eye.
And that's when it all became clear.
I was starting at my self.
A younger...
More innocent...
Me.
A me before I let the world make choices for me,
A me with pure love.
A better me.
I asked her, " Will you continue this journey with me? I think your the reason why I'm here."
She gladly accepted.
And we continued to walk down the path.
Both looking for answers,
Both realizing we found the first clue.
Neither knowing how long the journey would take.
Yet, sought comfort in knowing that we were doing this together.
Who knows what I will find next.
At least...
I found...
Myself...
