What are we to do?
They’re pounding on the door: worries, fears, rage, expectations, an unhealthy ego.
They’re vying for sole essence – of me, of you –
all wanting to occupy the sacred seat . . .
We know . . .
we know they’re present – a part of us, within us;
although we do not want to admit so.
We try to fend them off – deny, defend, deflect;
energy expended – wasted as the door cracks open a bit more . . .
What are we to do?
We know the truth – what we must do – what we are afraid to do . . .
surely not though?!
There must be another way – a less uncomfortable way . . .
Are we willing to live in this anxiety-ridden state?
Living estranged from others – this is easy, safe . . .
living estranged from our selves is death.
So, welcome what we would deny?
Why do we fear welcoming our selves so?
Forfeiting the chance to be loved;
forfeiting loving who we are;
forfeiting the ability to love others without judgment.
In reality –
you are already loved by Love . . .
can’t do anything about this.
Welcome, then, all of who you are –
grateful that there is room at the table for all:
fear, joy, anxiety, compassion, pride, sensitivity, expectation, gratitude.
grateful that this welcoming creates room at the table for others.
Listen again –
same question,
new ears…
What are we to do?
