Choice

from the moment I saw

the love was available

I took a step forward

and put my whole self in

this wasn’t twister or the Hokey Pokey

This was trust,

divine timing—

and faith

I chose to be transformed by fire

I chose to be a witness to your growth

and by that choice, I too, have developed.

Whenever the opportunity developes

I’ll make the same choice again and again.

My life is lived by fire

I choose fire to transform

That’s why it’s always different

Each same choice looks like a different choice

But it never is

And it always is

Something new.

I walk with fire 🔥 I blaze in its path.

I, too, am Fire.

  1. I’ve been thinking of fire and ice a lot lately. In the personal, inner, emotive sense. Being aware, from childhood, of something hard and cold within – shaped by the piercing wind and the loneliness of the cry from the hills. How that became part of me, and always calls.

    But then, as Yassy indicated in one of her recent pieces (Crystal Fire), whether or not she saw the implication, there is fire hidden in the heart of the coldest shard of ice.

  2. You are the fire that warns my spirit , my soul is touched by your beautiful flame. You glow in my life like a beacon of sunshine and cool light that soothes . Your warmth is soothing. It is a panacea for my heart . I love your verse , Ka. You are immensely talented and your quill is versatile and verdant. ♥️🤗

    1. Yassy, your comments blow me away, especially this one. I can only hope that my poem reaches this level of magnitude you express for yourself (and I hope for others, too). You divine me in so many ways that I am falling into your full charm of receptivity to these words’ sounds and motions in 🔥 , with this immense gratitude, this opening heart, this appreciation so replete! It’s an ease and a boon to be lit. Love you, soul sibling! 😍

      1. My soul lit up with peace and happiness as I read your comment. Only beautiful thoughts spring to mind when I visit your page. You are family , Ka .. love you , gorgeous, gentle soul. Be well.

    1. Thank you, dear Mark. We make so many choices in more ways than I can even count moments! I’m laughing at the idea of measuring choices and moments are units. How else would I know the exact quantity?! Dear Mark, life always keeps me on my toes. I am dancing with fire on the regular–and well, all the elements. I’m glad I’m not dancing alone! Bless you!

    1. Karen, you always nail it: Courage.
      This is also why i loved your book so much!Thank you for being here. You are a continuous inspiration!
      Freedom is our shared goal– and, for all beings! Much love to you! Hope you for your happiness around the holiday season!
      I believe your summer solstice is coming up!

  3. I know about trust, divine timing and being presented with the same choice in new ways. I don’t know much about astrology -just the basics, like I know I was born Sagittarius which is a fire sign. On the surface at least, I’ve been drawn more to earth, water, and air. Fire has always been a little frightening, but it is also fascinating and exciting in small amounts. Your poem encourages me to explore the fascination and excitement of fire more deeply, a little at a time, and again as this is likely a choice I’ve had before. Thank you!

    1. I like how you wrote about your relationship to fire when you said, “on the surface at least, I’ve been drawn more to earth, water, and air…” (despite your Sagittarius sun sign). I think that shows your innate knowing of ‘balancing’ the elements within you and around your environment. For astrology, it’s not about being fully in your Sun sign and loving or elevating your Sun sign’s element above the others. It’s still about balance and connection. We all have birth charts with so many details and elements, actually charts upon charts can be made to inquire in relationship to your birth time and place with so many derivations from that. Truth: astrology can be incredibly complex. It’s not an over-night phenomenon and it goes deep.

      **All this to say, just know that you are definitely on track intuitively. That’s what really matters!**

      I’m so enthused that you saw the invitation from my poem to explore fire “a little at a time.” That’s so wise! Thank you so much for visiting and reading!! Your introspection is lovely, and your presence is so appreciated!
      Sending Love and wishing you a really beautiful and kind holiday season! Warmly, Ka
