As You Do Your Sorrow

Open your heart to the boundless,

the bountiful, the beauty 

this life has to offer. Love this life, 

yes embrace it! 

Please seek pleasure within it 

just as the wind blows to soothe and slow the mind, 

the winding down of time only seeks to give, 

and just as the sun shines down upon your skin

it feels received to shine 

and when you receive, you too, are giving.

Give love without condition. 

This is your might, your strength and greatest gift. 

It is the endless expansion your heart seeks.

Remember this,

it’s all a game we’ve been set under.

Play with your joy as you do your sorrow.

An experience to have and hold, to remember and let go forever, 

again and again, 

on and on.
