I love Danna Faulds’s poems. This one so speaks to me and I hope, to you. You are more than enough, you are whole, just as you are. Expecting perfection, comparing ourselves, is not a prerequisite for anything but pain. You are already Love.
Awakening
Why wait for your awakening?
Do you value your reasons for staying small
more than the light shining through the open door?
Forgive yourself,
Forgive yourself.
Now is the only time you have to be whole.
Now.
Now is the sole moment that exists to live in the light of your true nature
Perfection is not a prerequisite for anything but pain.
Perfection is not a prerequisite for anything but pain.
Please, oh please, don’t continue to believe
in your stories of deficiency and failure.
This is the day of your awakening.
—Danna Faulds
