Welcome.
You are welcome here.
You belong here.
Relax.
You get to relax.
And show up.
Show up
because we need you.
We need you
to be exactly yourself.
We need your discernment.
We need your trust
in that calm and steady
voice in the heart.
It speaks to you from
the still dwelling eye
in everything and everywhere.
Feel the longing.
Let it penetrate you
absolutely,
even though it feels
like a splinter
that will break you in two.
When you find
the splinter is made of love,
who would pull it out?
Open up
your chest of treasures
and share
as though they belong
to everyone else,
for they do,
as you do.
There is no
personal belonging.
Belonging includes all of us,
for it is our home,
yours and ours,
together.
Such relief
when all is said and done.
Empty yourself.
Fill up with everyone.
