Luminous Autonomy

Life is made of daily deaths.

Each moment we become 

Different versions of our yesterday self. 

Sometimes these changes move slowly,

Sliding under the radar of our awareness. 

Some waver back and forth as if undecided, 

While others glide gently forward.

Sometimes we shift by a flash of white light, 

who leaves no room for reversal. 

Sometimes the ones we love leave us

Space to find our own luminous autonomy.
