Step Into Myself

Away, away—my thoughts carry me,

into the outer chaos of make-believe.

I go along for the ride, spending energy just to hold on.

Tighter and tighter I grip, trying to gain control,

only to fall deeper into the spin.

Am I the story being told?

Am I these thoughts?

Or just an actor in a play that never ends?

Step back. Return.

Move behind the scenes.

Observe—be the one who sees.

Fall back into myself,

into the depth of the soul,

into the quiet awareness that has always been.

Turn inward.

No effort is needed—only remembrance.

Remember to remember.

Recall who you are,

what you have always been.

My God, my God—

my soul does not need saving,

for You have never forsaken me.

My soul, my essence—

Your gift, always whole.

Let my love for You open my heart.

Let the stillness of being

quiet the story my mind keeps telling.
