accepting ourselves

just as who we are

can sometimes be

the most impossible challenge

and yet

on the other side

of that very impossibility

peace is to be found

being overwhelmed

by strong emotions

being told

that one’s suffering

is only lack of

devotion

being left behind

with the message

that one is too complicated

while a world of glory

expands

inside

when mercy

and faithfulness meet

healing can touch

the tangible

and the tangible touch

the unfathomable

when desire

is no longer

nourishing

the fear

of

never being good enough

breath circulates in the body

and peace inhabits

the heart

while softness settles

both in and around

touching the perfect balance

is one thing

maintaining it

another

surrendering to it

an embrace

beyond

comprehension

when too many thoughts

and impressions

are wrestling to find

their proper expression

it might be better

just to keep quiet

the time

for the proper expression

to occur

returning home

after having lost

faith

and become

just who we are

no more

no less

is exaltation

when being acknowledged

becomes

more important

than being who we are

faith is lost

having no one to confide in

can transform solitude

into a burden

so heavy

it seems

unbearable

until the time

where that very same burden

is being transformed

into confidence

never to feel safe

can

in so many ways

undermine the mind

that the track

of reality

is lost
