Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;

Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;

Opening to my loss,
I am given unimaginable gifts;

Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.

Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-­like essence.

I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game;
To play it is pure delight,
To honor it is true devotion.

This poem is so beautiful. I’ve been reading The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr and I’m in love with the Christ I see in everything…. This poem speaks to me of duality and the space between in non-duality… The Trinity and the holding tensions that is symbolized by the cross. I can’t even put it to words… But my life is transformed. I’m so grateful god found me. I’m so grateful for everything!
