Called to Become

[ellenscult]

This was played on Radio 4, 'Something Understood', on Sunday morning. Which was apt, given I was on my way to the ISA course. ;) I just wanted to share this with you all.

Called to Become from Psalms of a Ladywoman by Edwina Gately.

You are called to become
A perfect creation.
No one is called to become
who you are called to be.
It does not matter
How short or tall
Or thick-set or slow
You may be.
It does not matter
Whether you sparkle with life
Or are silent as a still pool
Whether you sing your song aloud
Or weep alone in darkness.
It does not matter
Whether you feel loved and admired
Or unloved and alone
For you are called to become
A perfect creation.
No one's shadow
Should cloud your vision,
No one's light
Should dispel your spark.
Unique and loved you stand,
Beautiful or stunted in your growth
But never without hope and life.
For you are called to become
A perfect creation.
This becoming may be
Gentle or harsh,
Subtle or violent,
But it never ceases,
Never pauses or hesitates,
Only is-
Creative force-
Calling you to become
A perfect creation.

When you have the chance I'd be interested to hear how that went.

Me too. Maybe we could all do coffee or something sometime.

I'm going to post more about the course this evening, but as I have a book and a booklet, etc, from it I'd love to meet up for a cuppa some time soon and show them to you both (and anyone else who's interested). How about Sunday early afternoon?

It was a good course, and I've got some of my energy back from it. I met a lot of very nice people, and had my philosophy affirmed, which is always good. As Adam (winolj) and ravenlas say, I have a shiny brain now.

Coffee would be lovely - though I'm away this weekend and busy the Saturday after. Maybe one weeknight?

That'd be good. Tuesday maybe?
