All that I write comes from deep within me. It is a greatness I never knew I would be. Then one day, I looked inside and saw this Great Being of Light, I Am. This day I realized I am not just me; I am you, and you, and you, too. When you come to know that you are one with all, you know you have found the Spirit within. You know that every being and God are one.This is the day my journey began. I fought, but the messages came no matter what. Then I knew this is why I came to be with you, with God and with me. I was just eight when she left, my mother, to be in the Spirit world. The pain and hardship that came, I did not understand then why this had to be so. Today I look back and I know this is the experience I came to have. I am a wife, I am a mother, I have a son and daughter. I know I am more than this, I am whole. For all of you who read these poems in The Life You Came to Live, look inside and you will find this light, this light we call the Spirit within.With all my Love and Light,Rae ManthiriLife is a choice, we decide how we manage this choice and we create the balance in our lives.
