today i found myself in unfamiliar country.
today i found myself a stranger –
surrounded by many;
yet alone on my particular journey.
today i found myself engaging with life outside my comfort zone –
recognition,
not an option,
from travelers with agendas of exclusion.
and while uncomfortable with the transparency of my unfamiliar vulnerability,
i realized with extreme clarity the composition of my character.
today i found myself naked –
pretension removed –
intention perceived –
direction,
redefined.
today i let go of the who i was,
and found –
the me i am…
standing too close to the edge
