Origin
“The word "origin"derives from the Latinorīgin-(nominativeorīgō), meaning "a rise, commencement, beginning, source, birth," which traces back toorīri, meaning "to rise" or "to be born". Entering Middle English around 1400 from Old French, it originally denoted ancestry or lineage before evolving to signify the starting point or source of something by the 16th century.”
ORIGIN
My origin is not the place where my story began.
Or a place I’ve left,
and returned back home to each time I needed reminding of who I am.
My origin point is that place within me…
that keeps calling to me whenever I am ready to rise.
A spiral that brings me home.
To that old doorway of my heart.
A gateway to a new threshold.
I’ve come around again
and touched my old habits, and the worn old edges of who I’ve been.
And instead of shame,
this time I will allow myself to surrender to the becoming.
Not returning to my past,
where I am giving up or giving into all of my vices,
but climbing the spiral staircase of my own story.
Returning to my origin point.
And into the place where I will begin again.
