[Thespiritexpress] The Pain of Separation

[Riantee Rand]

> 
> The pain of Separation
>  
> I am always discovering myself
> in the little corners
> that had been left in the dark for so long.
> I have felt the pain of separation
> from the very beginning
> but didn’t know I was born with it.
> It became this underlying sadness
> that ran like a gentle stream
> over the bed of the multi-colored pebbles
> from all the events of my life.
> I didn’t know the name of so old a presence,
> but it became a melancholy,
> affectionate friend
> enveloping me through the stages of life.
>  
> It’s only when I stop re acting
> the suffering of the world
> that I find contentment hidden behind it.
> It’s only when I am totally empty of myself
> that I find the truth of Self.
> It’s only when I stop resisting the original pain
> that Sin dissipates out of existence.
> It’s only when I acknowledge the state of bliss
> always existing
> that an inexhaustible source of strength
> is activated within.
>  
> I find myself to be
> a resourceful being I can count on
> to lead me to safety every step of the way,
> opening the joyful path for me to step on
> and keeping me inspired,
> breathed in spirit,
> pregnant with the love
>                                                              of all I encounter.
