Let There Be Light: How it all started

Lordt! It’s after midnight and I’m sitting here tryna organize all these thoughts and ideas that I have swirling around in my head. I have no idea where to begin, but then again yes I do! I just have to get out of my head and start clickity clackin on my keyboard. It doesn’t really matter what the outcome is the most important thing is that I got started. So here goes it. I am an embryo. Not sure how I even landed here. Somehow two things came together and here I am growing. Lucky me, right???

I don’t know much but I’ve heard simple mathematics says 1 + 1 = 2. Newsflash! I’m in here by myself. So 1 (my mama) + 1 (my dad) =1 (just me). ONE EMBRYO???

Everyday I’m growing. Each day I’m getting bigger and stronger. I wonder how long this growth actually last. In each stage of my development I’m given a new name. Soon I’ll no longer be an embryo. I’m moving on to bigger and better things.

Will I be in this little sac forever? Where will I go if I get out of here? Until I outgrow this space, I’ll just enjoy all the beats and rhythm I hear coming from the darkness.

I hope y’all know by now this is all metaphor for (hmmm well kinda) this thing called life. I don’t think I can recall what it was like to enter this world, but I can tell you I’ve come to realize that this journey is really about returning us to where we started. Call it life, death, rebirth… All I know is I intend to observe and be grateful for every road that leads me closer to HOME!
