We are
We do not become healers.
We came as healers.
We are!
Some of us are still
catching up to what we are.
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.
We do not become artists.
We came as artists.
We are.
Some of us are still
catching up to what we are.
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.
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.
By Clarissa Pinkola Estes
