what would it look like
to find comfort in discomfort,
to find joy in pain,
to find inspiration in exhaustion?
and not just project an idea of this balance,
but actually, truly, EMBODY it?
LIVE it?
what would it look like
to dive so deep INTO our “afflictive” experiences
that we go all the way to the source…
past the stories
past the constructs
and into PRESENCE.
but remember…
it’s not about “getting” anywhere
because this presence is IN YOUR CELLS,
always.
simply waiting for your willingness
to
*FEEL
YOUR
SELF*
to
FEEL
the fullness of your experience,
whether it’s comfort or discomfort,
joy or pain,
inspiration or exhaustion.
don’t be afraid of your fear,
because it holds the fuel
for the alchemical journey inward,
into
PRESENCE.
