On the shores of sleep
Waiting for the tide of insomnia to roll out
I am crushed by anger
I struggle to breathe under the weight of it
Lord, take this burden from me
My dustbin collects what I’ve tossed aside for later
Later is now
There’s a feeling I can’t shake that the whole universe is a flake of dandruff on the scalp of a much larger being
When I am the queen bee, the person I sting the most is me
Life on Earth is a virtual reality ride at the intergalactic carnival
Human life passes quickly in the context of eternity
We’re just playing
You can do what you want to your avatar body, made from the latest technology
All that I wanted, all that I need, was always inside me
To tap into timelessness by returning my attention to the present, to reassure myself that I am more than ok- this is the meditation that frees my spirit
I return to this meditation again and again, waves lapping on the shore of consciousness
My anger boulder is also the rock that supports me
I offer up my rock collection
Lord, please take what I don’t know what to do with, what I no longer need
I feel lighter already
I have an old habit of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good
May I be ok with feeling hurt and not throw the whole relationship away
May I become comfortable with discomfort and stay
I usually dream that I am being persecuted- I run, fly, and fight ineffectively
When I scream no sound comes out
Last night I dreamt that I was being bullied, publicly humiliated and subjugated to abuse of power- another day on the job
Vultures ripped at my exposed flesh- bon appetit
The difference between us is our intention
My spirit sent a sincere namaste third-eye wink to the bully
She felt a spark of light in her heart and didn’t know what to do, it disarmed her
I think that on some level, she recognized the divine too
Hallelujah
