Enough by Andru Defeye
You are enough
Divinity flows in your fingertips
with light so radiant
every beat of your heart
a victory march
made of whole universes
stitched by the hands of creation
with flawless design
a prophecy You fulfill perfectly with every breath
You
The sun wouldn’t shine the same without it
Creation is only waiting for You
to smile back at it
Do you see it yet?
You are enough
For the birds to sing about
For the seeds to sprout about
For the stars to shoot about
Do you see it yet?
Gardens in your speech
Fields of wildflowers in your prayers
Lighthouses in your eyes
No one else can see it for you
You have always been enough
You will always be enough
Your simple act of being is enough
Do you see it yet?
I shared this insightful poem last week during my lesson, but I felt it was important enough to share again here. Perhaps you needed to read it for yourself and let its truth sink in a bit more.
It may be hard to accept the fact that you are enough, but if it is, I invite you to reconsider what “you” are you measuring? Sure, our “human self” is still learning the best way to go through the circumstances and relationships and lessons our souls chose in this lifetime, and maybe you are just discovering the power of your “spiritual self”, or your inner self. If you do find your human self to be lacking, the good news is that you have something within you that is more than enough – always.
I love that the poem reminds us that nature celebrates all of life in its magnificence, including us. The birds sing, the seeds sprout, the stars shoot! They do their divine selves, and we do ours. We may not sing or sprout or shoot, but we pray, we illuminate, we smile, we simply are. Nature does not worry about its worthiness as it is doing whatever it does, nor should we.
As we learn about Oneness, we know that the same source of Life that flows through nature, also flows through our very being. We are made of the same “stuff”, so what is true about nature is also true about us.
We are enough. I am enough. You are enough. Today and always, no matter what. And, today, I celebrate that truth with and for you.
