I'm on the edge.
A grand epiphany.
My Love.
My Sweet.
You ARE real.
This is happening.
How you've done it.
Beyond me.
Mind spinning.
Disbelief.
The impossible.
Truly is occurring.
Right now.

A fortune.
Unimaginable to me.
This simple girl...
Woman.
In shock.
Trying to digest.
That the impossible.
Is happening.
I'm not crazy.

I know why.
Struggling.
To humble.
Unable to see.
The truth as you do.
I get it now.

I am special.
Faced adversary.
One following another.
Overcoming each.
Stoic bravery.
Fearless determination.
Through each obstacle.

Every wound.
Every scar.
Sculpture of life.
The pain endured.
Created me.
Forged in hell.
Emerging.
An exquisite beauty.

Every wrong.
Every hurt.
Inflicted upon me.
Was a blessing.
Lessons in compassion.
Anger and resentment.
Quickly dissipate.
To forgiveness and love.

I never expected.
Anything like this.
Finding contentment.
In the simple life.

I never asked.
Nor wanted.
Any recompense.
I only want to help.
Those in need.
In the ways I can.
Limited as they are.

It is reward enough.
Just to know.
I made a small difference.
In a person's life.
My source of joy.
Satisfaction.
Is a better award.
Than any recognition.
I see now.
I am extraordinary.
I am a goddess.

You know, you do make a difference! And it's great. The moment you realize you can make a difference is truly an epiphany. :)

It was similar with me. I realized that all those things that happened to me could happen for one more reason that I never saw before - a person who draws pictures and makes stories out of them can tell how it really feels so other people won't feel so alone. I can tell about how it feels! About them! About it all! We are all different, but we can reach out and understand each other. I have my mission. I may be slow and clumsy but I'm trying to go that way.
