Potential

(colored with blueberries, onion skins, and turmeric)

There exists within each of us a power to become. Masking ourselves does nothing to hide the reality of who and what we truly are, even if we don't see through our own hard shells. But there is one that knows us intimately and sees us as beyond the embryos that we are. He holds us up to the light and deems us good. He gives our souls warmth to come through cold and famine, clear through to the spring that gives us life. He IS the life, and today, in the filtered light of stained glass windows He found me and gave me new hope and new joy. I cannot deny the transcendence of pure love that I felt today as my heart rang out in song. In Christ I am alive, and my potential is limitless.
