You Who Let Yourself Feel

"Fear not the pain. Let its weight fall back into the earth"

Over 6000 miles away, people just like us are living a nightmare.

I've been aware of my avoidance of this piece of our reality.

This morning, I started to share another poem* with vivid descriptions of horrors

  in solidarity to these fellow inhabitants on this planet.  

I decided against it because, it seems to me, as a human being, 

we are wounded by this whether we acknowledge it or not.

Whether we let ourselves feel it or not; it's still imposing itself into our spirits.

I decided this piece is more relevant because it speaks to the paradox

and the complexity of the situation.

"You who let yourself feel: enter the breathing that is more than your own.

Let it brush your cheeks as it divides and rejoins beside you."

Namaste'
