Evolution

timid hearts

walk on feet of gloom

till feline courage

inspires – and opens doors

to an existence

of unconditional supremacy.

 

human life learns

how to overcome

and overstep

self-imposed thresholds

to emerge unscathed

in the land of sunshine

    1. Yes. Self-actualization is a word I read in school in Maslow’s hierarchy, and did not learn much beyond getting the spelling right. Today, I know what it means, and what a painful struggle it is to reach there.
