Quote.

Everything I desire is within me.

Unquote.

As I hear these words, my heart breaks.

I begin to cry.

Big, huge tears.

Everything I desire is within me.

I go into meditation.

Everything I desire is within me.

But I’m empty.

How can everything I desire come from such an empty space?

There is nothing within me.

There is no space for everything to be.

Everything I desire is within me.

I have no space for everything to be.

As I meditate, I become aware that the space isn’t empty.

It’s silent.

Everything I desire is within me.

The silent space is empty.

Or maybe it isn’t.

Everything is within me.

Everything I desire is within me.

Today the silent space is within me.

Namaste.

    Beautiful poem Lois. Going inside produces tears of joy washing out all of the negative stuff so you can begin again.
