Dear shame and doubt I hold a knowing that is deeper than what's palpable And although you seem to protect me from pain unimaginable I know there's more meaning in you It's slowly becoming legible I'm here to refine my heart's vocabulary To see what hurts more clearly So I can perceive this pain as my own treasure and healing I'm here to stay with myself To hold myself close I'm here to practice courage and quietly let go of righteousness, hurtfulness, doubt, complacency To learn how to navigate all this emotionality with care With judiciousness, with gratitude, intelligently I'm here to grow my prayers into relations with my own conscience, my own integrity I'm here to fully participate in my reality May we remind ourselves That what hurts is a luminous teaching May we untangle that pain from the majesty of our being May the fullness and the emptiness be an opening and expanding May this love, this dedication, this place of peace be our softest landing May we remember that our actions have an impact on all of humanity And we may say what's been unsaid with kindness, with dignity May the next breath carry us home, again and again Instantly Take one deep breath From Letras Mania
