Let Me See

Let Me See by Adrienne A. Wallace
Do you remember me?
Turn into my kindness and...
Let me see.

I wonder if you would let me see what I know is there.
It is the depth of your heart that you fear but I do not.
You fear that I do not know.
 I have already looked at what you placed into my hand.
You think I will squeeze and it will hurt.
 Come here, trust me.
 Let me see.

Born to love and of a unique joining.
Not a mistake.
That is you and that is me too.
So why not join with me and continue the making  of magnificent things?
Perhaps you fear your magnificence or you do not see what I see.
If you do not see it in you then how could you ever see it in me?
Perhaps you are not ready yet.

Perhaps I AM not the blessing you thought you would get.
More than you imagined?
Less?
Use your eyes and let me see.
Your inner eye has best clarity.
 If I have your love it is not charity.
 Give it to me.
 Let me see. 

When it rains the lake fears not a flood.
The lake knows that it is part of the earth and needs the rain.
You can stay safe by capturing rain in buckets and therefore limiting capacity.
You my dear are a vast, deep, and my own wide lake and I trust to drop, trickle and downpour into you.
I have the greater fall.
I go the greater distance.
Your flow does not stop because I come and pour down into your life.
It quickens.
Like your heart.
Let me see. 

Don’t hide your flow from me.
I already know.
Give in to me.
Come close and….  
Let me see.

    beautiful poetry.. beautiful woman ...

    fate has brought me to this page
    to read these words you did sage
    the beauty that comes from deep within
    made my soul wildly spin
    words that were writen on the page
    from a woman with beauty's age

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...

Live Your Life As if Everything Is Rigged In Your Favor ..Even in Technology

I have an educational background with a top American engineering school and an Ivy League University. Society does not expect to see someone that looks like me on the campuses much less in those classrooms. Nevertheless, I did that. Several years ago, I had a White co-worker tell me that my voice on the phone and my knowledge base made him assume that I was much older and also White; so, he was shocked when he met me. He was also quite dumb because … I mean, use LinkedIn! I told him never assume anything about someone’s race based on the sound of their voice. I was already clued into the assumptions and bias that people have and offended that intelligence and articulation are deemed ” White” traits. The fact of the matter is that there is no gender or color for intelligence. However, if you ask Apple or Amazon – you’ll find that “Siri” and “Alexa” voices are predominate in their AI. I’ll leave it at that and expect the Tech world to act on what they already seem to know. I have...
