Dear Seed

A poem in response to Dance with Me
Dear Seed
by Marianna Chan, Yan Hoi Yi, Jessica Chung, Jenny Wong, Judy Lai
Dear Seed
Thank you for your certainty
Assuring me of your inevitable destiny
of becoming a tree
Thank you for needing me
It is my nature to give and watch you succeed
I can’t flourish without a subject to nourish
Thank you for reminding me
That I am connected to source
That I AM source, just like you
Two clear divine channels
needing each other to be.
Thank you for your clarity,
Without it, I’d be lost
A wandering restless soul
Wondering whether I’d ever find my destiny
Bitter to the core
Being called needy, controlling, bitchy, unforgiving
Begging to be seen, howling to be heard, yearning to be free
Only to realize that
I am my own harshest judge, meanest critic
Relentlessly shushing my voice
Never feeling enough
But Truth is …
Together, we are flawless channels
inevitable, blessed and powerful
Together we embrace
our unique identity, our divine nature, our original magnanimity
There needs to be no competition or strive
between you and me
For we can’t make it alone
We are both the sun and the moon
Engaged in a dance
To draw out the grandeur of our beauty
Join me in restoring life to its original beauty
Just be
