Healers, dancers, writers…

I came across this beautiful poem and I thought I would share with you. I LOVE it.

ā€œWe do not become healers.
We came as healers. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
Ā 
We do not become storytellers.
We came as carriers of the stories
we and our ancestors actually lived. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
Ā 
We do not become artists.
We came as artists. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
Ā 
We do not become writers, dancers, musicians,
helpers, peacemakers. We came as such. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
Ā 
We do not learn to love in this sense.
We came as Love. We are Love.
Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are.ā€
