The journey of light explores cycles of ego, healing, and return to source. In this short poem I map life’s circular motion, how love acts as glue, and how endings become homecomings. Read the poem below, then a brief reflection that expands on its themes and offers practices to bring the meaning into daily life.
Poem: The Journey of Light
Life is circular
And this must always be so
Ego fools itselfPick up the pieces
And using the glue of love
Make yourself brighterThe journey of light
Ends back where it once began
United as oneThere’s nothing to fear
There is nothing to forgive
This is source growingThis is us growing
Your role will come to an end
You’ll be welcomed home
This poem is a meditation on the recurring patterns we face and the gentle work of becoming brighter. Life often moves in circles: we start from a place of openness, harden into ego-driven states; then, if we’re lucky, collect the broken pieces and reassemble ourselves with love. That repair isn’t about perfection; it’s about willingness. Love, in this sense, is practical: it loosens grip, reorders priorities, and invites curiosity instead of blame.
When the poem says “your role will come to an end,” it speaks to transitions that feel like endings but are actually returns – back to simplicity, back to source. That return can be small (ending a habit) or vast (a spiritual shift), yet each is an invitation to be welcomed home. Practically, try short practices to embody this: one-minute breath checks, journaling three small losses you’re ready to release, and a daily kindness ritual where you do one small, real act without expectation.
