A Return to Being Revelant

 A Return to Being Revelant

I’m revenant (returning) to being revelant (transparent) about what is relevant (meaningful) and reverent (respectful).                                                               

                        

Young children are revelant, transparent of how they feel.

Their cry is very relevant to them, a survival thing to ensure their needs are met.

Even reverent to the truth of who they are, though their truth is limited.

Mostly what they know is to get gratification.

We all grow to the extent that our limiting ego shrinks.

We’re all in that growth process.

That doesn’t mean we are constrained to hold our feelings festering inside,

As long as we don’t express them simply to manipulate others.

What would it mean to be a revenant to being revelant as an adult?

Growing beyond the ego, and yet letting the feelings flow?

Transparent, but not to control others?

Perhaps, if we expressed emotions, get them out in the light,

We would not be controlled by the inner dark.
