Between Two Worlds

Roots in the ground

Crown in the sky

Like a tree

I exist

In both worlds

Solid and swaying

Earthly and magic

Human and soul

Today, I was reminded of the duality of all experiences. I was reminded of my feet, the way they walk between worlds. That in every moment of stillness, I stand with one foot in both.

I am reminded during moments of pain, of sadness, of raw humanity of my deep roots in this earth and all its experiences.

And yet, my roots grow upwards into a trunk, a column, a portal of Divine Grace.

A constant reminder of my true essence.

Of all that existed before this life and all that will exist after.

Two feet.

Just as I feel anguish, I feel hope.

Just as I feel human, I feel soulful.

Sometimes one at a time, sometimes both at once.

But I accept both fully.

I allow myself to experience both, at times, simultaneously.

There is a comfort in knowing, even as my foot aches, all I have to do is take a step to the side.
