Completions are Initiations

Whenever I want something to end, to be over and done with, like a migraine headache or a cold, AMAG gently reminds me that nothing is ever destroyed, it just changes into something else; destruction and construction are the same when viewed from another perspective, which means that endings are beginnings, completion is initiation, and so on. A poem written by a very dear friend of mine speaks directly to this idea. It's called "Completions." 

I have completed my study of pain, any pain.  
I have completed my study of restriction… physical, mental, creative, emotional.  
I have completed my study of foolish resistance.  I maintain joyful, wise choice.  
I have completed my study of frustration.  
I have completed my study of how to just get by.  
I have completed my study of poverty, of lack… those lies.
I have completed my study of oppression, of feeling, seeming, to be LESS, in any way.  
I have completed my study of looking for/desiring approval or praise from others.  
I have completed my study of the role of whistle blower, 
martyr for the reveal of institutional harm.  
I have completed my study of physical disability and disease.  
I have completed my study of microbials and choose to allow all to flow through, 
          pass through my body (physical and light), without harm, without disturbance.  
I have completed my study and pattern of fear, and fearful memory of things 
not working out before, of things not changing as I had asked.  
I am new and experienced.  
I choose with clarity and divinity each breath, 
knowing magic and all possibility… 
beauty and truth and love.
Aho.
