The Devout Doubter

16 October 2010

I feel the roar of that lion inside me again;
the pure, unfettered power that can shake the corners of the earth.
Yet, I know not what that is.

I dared, finally, the other day
to let myself roar in the privacy of my home.
It was merely the roar of a 50-year-old woman,
but there is something else there as well.

What is it?

My entire body is tingling,
energy rushes through/around/into my head,
my hands buzz.

I am equally
belief and doubt;
fully committed to this – whatever it is,
and thinking that I am falling into a grand delusion.

That is my fear...that I am delusional.

If it is possible to believe 110% and still question,
that describes me.
