Can you feel the pain?
Can you feel the pain?
Are you aware of what is coming at you now,
what is coming from inside out, not just to heal you, but to heal me, and heal our whole world?
You, you get angry. You feel.
You are sad. You get mad.
You are whole.
You are broken. You break through.
Sometimes, I see you try to hide from the pain. You try to hide but you cannot escape the feelings because you are love.
Sometimes you find the courage to love.
Sometimes you just want to run away.
Sometimes you know it is best not to be involved because you have it up to here.
You know your limits.
It is all good. It is all fine. It is exquisite, wet, and good for life because you are expressing.
Once, a man drove a fig stick into the Earth to let some of the pain out. The people who lived there suppressed their pain; they never expressed it.
The pain went down into the Earth.
I am feeling the pain so there can be a less pain hiding in the world.
Sometimes, I feel so lonely.
I feel this pain because this is part of remembering how to stand on my own two feet. It is just pain. It wants to come out so it can disappear. It wants to come out so war will not exist any more.
I am scared when I feel the pain.
I wish I were not here.
Then you my Soul remind me to return again to You.
You, my Friend, remind me to return again and I look up.
