> So beautiful and true!
XO Love, Roz

>
> Beaucoup de bisous
> Riantee
>
> Measures
>
>
> Every time I am not totally at ease with another
>
> I am inauthentic,
>
> whenever that other is not at ease with me,
>
> I am inauthentic,
>
> A sure measure of my beingness.
>
>
> Any time I cannot receive a compliment
>
> without embarrassment
>
> I am in fear,
>
> when I am unable to return the tribute
>
> without hesitation
>
> I am not my true Self.
>
>
> Every time I am not in love
>
> I miss the point of me,
>
> the temptation of human existence
>
> waves the fearful flag
>
> in front of my eyes
>
> and takes me into stories.
>
>
> Worries, fatigue, concerns,
>
> planning the list for tomorrow,
>
> the things to get done,
>
> the obligations,
>
> the deadlines.
>
> I say hello, I say goodbye.
>
> I bypass the now,
>
> I leave it behind,
>
> I trudge ahead,
>
> I look back,
>
> I stumble,
>
> I fall.
>
> Only then do I look around
>
> and finally
>
> I see.
>
>
> In the silence of contemplation
>
> I receive the purification
>
> of my fears.
>
> A mist penetrates the walls
>
> and dispenses its goodness
>
> to the atmosphere.
>
>
> I recognize the possibility
>
> to take the shadows in,
>
> embrace them all.
>
> I pull myself all the way
>
> to the end of the darkest darkness
>
> then with a rubber band effect
>
> I shoot myself all the way into the brightest light.
>
>
> I baptize the now,
>
> I forgive myself,
>
> I am forgiven._______________________________________________
