worth begins with our soul

there is always a search for something out there

waiting

validating

promising

our worth is real

why does it have to be out there

when did we stop looking in here

our being

our source

our knowing

this is real this is our beginning

it is not out there

it is inside our being

our soul holds our treasure

we are in the way

looking outward

before looking inward

outward cannot give to us

what we have not witnessed within

we discover uncover even recover

from within what is lost

the who that we are

worth begins with our soul

it is this knowing

that drives us to seek our truth

not words of another out there

connection to soul

is where we begin

sit with self

what does self hold sacred

soul will speak

stop and listen

do not rush

time is your friend

layers of out there need to drift away

before you will emerge

patience is the medicine

time is your companion

truth is your destination

worth starts within

smile, you are worth smiling about
