Welcome home. I'm Dr. Tamer, a minister, licensed psychologist and sacred artist. And this

is Homecoming, a podcast to facilitate your journey home to yourself. While I will provide

weekly inspiration and mental health tips, this podcast is not the same as personalized therapy.

I'm so excited you're on the journey. If you want to request specific topics or to submit a

poem for me to read on the podcast, email me at homecomingpodcastsatgmail.com. Also to build our

community, don't forget to like, subscribe and share. Let's begin.

Welcome home co-journers. I'm glad you're here for another episode and I am excited and grateful

that we have a poem submission this week from Joel Cross and Joel's pieces entitled, I am the

Love of My Life. I was born a soul in wholeness but as I got older the world tried to break me.

Every day I was at odds with the programming that I absorbed from my youth into the unconscious

mind. It was so loud I couldn't hear myself so I withdrew to nature. The volume of all the

others departed and there I began to realize my own truth. I heard a sweet voice from the seat

of my soul say, I am love and liberation. I am light. I am the love of my life.

Even my obstacles are made perfectly as tools for my growth through pain to love.

For my purpose is not to outshine another, my purpose has always been to do my share in the shining

of us all. For we are one and as one shines so does another and as I am able to hear myself more

clearly it becomes far easier to hear you too. Isolation allows us to embrace the freedom of self.

For loneliness is an idea cherished by those who do not like the sounds within.

If only they were Terry. They would see their true voice would arise in sweet harmony with the

song of the ages the song of the universe that says of all in all and through all I am the love of

my life. Yes Joel thank you so much for this beautiful piece and I'm so grateful you also sent

it on Spotify the meditation this poetic meditation is set to music and so you can listen to it
