Pic and a Poem #29

 

 

 

 

 

 be with yourself as a kind mother to a child

 touch your heart with tenderness,

 and what sorrows are stirred 

 open your arms to them,

 gather them close,

 welcome your heartache, your anger, your fear,

 witness their longing for this kind reception

 a devoted attention to all that you are,

 everything in you,

 just as everything outside of you

 lies in waiting,
 thirsting for love
 sit with your whole self
 pour from your deep heart
 your own sacred medicine
 until all mouths are quenched
 be healed and transformed
