“All that you witness I may never know.
Your strength is my strength.
Your patience reminds.
Your flexibility inspires.
As we dance this life together I reveal your beauty to you,
and you reveal my beauty to me.
Shall we dance?” ~Camilla Downs

“Though I see not where it leads,
I shall walk the path.
It’s not about where it leads,
it’s about how joyfully I shine my light
as I walk the path.” ~Camilla Downs

“As I visit you day by day,
the secret to life is shared with me.
Every time, a different way.
Each time we part,
I leave knowing the true me.” ~Camilla Downs

 

The Longest and Shortest Path Ever Traveled

The path to love
the path to oneself
strewn with broken pieces
covered in darkness
showered with light
pieces put back together
discarding what no longer fits
like a sculptor releasing
the masterpiece buried in the rock.
Chisel, buff, shine
until one day she is
released from the confines
of the rock.
She is free to know
free to be
free to love and be loved
free to have and free to do
the path to love
the path to oneself
is the longest and
the shortest path
ever traveled. ~ Camilla Downs
