I dare to look in the mirror of a woman whose eyes reflect back with a glistened gaze. Do I see sadness in those eyes? despair? regret? Do I see a lost someone who is searching for expression? I see you, I cry. I will not look away and pretend I do not see.
I stand before myself and the truth cannot be veiled. I see a woman who strives to be real. I see a woman who is willing to lose it all and embrace the pain of a heart that weeps in order to embrace herself. I see the shift in her gaze as I claim my truth.
I am strong. I am kind. I am enough. I am love. I am real. I am all.
I look at my familiar gaze and I see the woman I am, one who honors choices made, who embraces all the shades of me. I bathe one more look into the sea of vision with understanding and compassion. I wrap myself with love and take a step towards the mirror.
