I am…
I am a poem…written on stones that line the tangled journey of becoming…
I am a mother…messing up, making mistakes, always learning…and loving…
I am a partner…a daughter…a sister…a friend…
I am a dreamer…breathing possibility into the sacred imperfection of this extraordinary life…
I am a photographer…capturing the tender whispers of my soul which I find in the simple beauty surrounding me…
I am perfectly imperfect…
I am that which is deeply divine…
I am love…
I am bliss…passion…peace…
I am unfolding…growing…always changing…
I am brave…I am strong…I am an artist whose voice changes the world…
I am words…honey-petals collected in bright jars to savor later…
I am pink ribbons, Saturday afternoon matinees, dogwood leaves, echoes of silence…
I am a woman…navigating uncertain roads of discovery…walking beside you, holding your hand…
I am enough…just as I am…

Michelle Ensminger loves poetry, photography, and dates with her 8 year old son. A West Texas native, you can often find her curled up in a makeshift fort writing her way through the messiness of life. Michelle always strives to nurture her creative spirit and pursue an authentic spiritual path in the midst of motherhood and working an 8-5 job. She believes writing can heal and awaken us to life, that stillness holds great power, and in the sacred act of honoring the present moment. She is currently taking a hiatus from blogging, but she is a regular, monthly contributor for Wish Studio (http://wishstudio.com/). You can find more of her on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ordinarymatters/) and Facebook.
