To Become…

To Become…
We must know who we are!
No there is no Becoming.
There is only Emergence!
A coming forth.
An unconcealment.
Self is already Self.
We are already present,
Though we do not recognize,
Though we do not acknowledge.
We must just Be.
In Being
You will see
Your Self emerging.
Since your Self is already, like
A child it needs to learn,
To exercise, to move forward,
To move outward.
There in the Emergence of Self
Is the knowing one Self.
