I Am Willing

I found this poem a number of years ago, but I think it’s fitting right now with school starting and fall drawing near. This often feels like a period of transition and change.  And change takes willingness and courage.  So I like to revisit this poem every so often to make sure my heart is still open and to check that I am still willing to do what it takes, even if it is hard sometimes.

 I Am Willing  by Margaret Dubay Mikus

I am willing to change what doesn’t work
for me in my life.

I am willing to listen
with an open heart,
without judging.

I am willing to plant
seeds that take a long time,
if ever, to grow.

I am willing to feel
and let go.

I am willing to make mistakes
and learn from them.

I am willing
to live in the present.

I am willing to forgive
and forget in my heart.

I am willing to love as much
as my endless spirit will allow.

I am willing to be seen
in all my radiance.

I am willing to be fearless.

I am willing to be powerful.

I am willing to be peaceful.

I am willing to stand tall
and walk gracefully.

I am willing to sing with my stunning, full voice.

I am willing to allow.

I am willing to let go.

I am willing to change.

I am willing to see
and be seen.

I am willing to hear
and be heard.

I am willing to feel
and be felt.

I am willing to heal
and be healed.

I am willing to love
and be loved.

I am willing
to be fully human.
