Meditating on the craving to do 

what Spirit has placed in my heart

I rouse myself from longing 

to remain on the easy road

Gathering energy, I shift awareness 

the path ahead is not the challenge

rather the yearning to step onto the new path

away from routine 

and move into the exceptional dares

I thrust myself forward

take the first step and

my heart becomes infused with desire

to recognize the reality of my own power
