The Light

   

In the beginning there was simply I

I was a light, a light so bright, and so vibrant, so unexplainable, that it couldn’t even be recognized

This light was placed among those that would not, could not distinguish it

And so the light itself forgot that it was a light

In this limiting belief its light began to dim

The light restricted and constrained itself to the area of the conformed, square, box of those around it

The light continued this way through life

But every once in a while it would find itself, sparking, igniting

And the light knew, somehow, it was more…

Everything the light did, every person the light encountered, every experience the light had, would make the light more conscious to its true state

Positive events caused the light to radiate and negative events would cast a shadow causing the light to glow

You see, the things that happened, good and bad; they all had one purpose, and that was to allow the light shine

The light continued this way through life

And the more it became aware, the more it had the ability to spark the light in others

And all around, more and more, conformity was broken down, boxes were no more, and everywhere there was light

I realized and understood it was indefinable, limitless

I was once again pure light

And the world was boundless.
