Manivillie Kanagasabapathy
Reminder
This piece is about challenging the stories that we have been told about who we are. Navigating the journey.
Reminder
I am my greatest love story.
My most inspired creation.
The path out of the darkness.
I am the power that I forgot.
Driven down by doubts.
Guided by blue lights.
Expressions of truth.
I am one with my purpose.
Genesis never-ending.
