“I will not cause pain
without allowing something new
to be born".
- Isaiah 66:9
Friend, the pain you feel now
is not a mistake. There is no shame
in what you are going through.
The ache in you is the place
where alchemy longs to happen.
Your pain is a holy site.
Come out of the mind and into the body now.
Bring attention to the raw sensations
in your belly, chest, throat, head.
Drench the 'wound' with presence.
Breathe into the sadness.
Offer the anger oxygen.
Infuse the fearful one with fearless fascination.
Don't try to 'fix' the pain.
Don't try to 'get rid' of it.
Don't even try to 'transmute' it.
That is not your job.
Your only job is to love what's here,
and to love your own inability to love.
You are giving birth to a precious inner child.
She is scared, she is raw, she is a little heartbroken,
but she is so alive and deserving of love.
An old life dies, a new life dawns.
Let the old world fall away.
Be here.
- Jeff Foster
