Sometimes We Shine

and then I realized that I have no felt experience of unconditional love…

Even though I believe in it, of course I do. I just don’t know what it is. I told a friend this and they said they were sorry, but I’m sorry too. Sorry to all of you that I’ve loved with so many conditions when there’s no question that you are just lovable, you are just loved.

you are loved and nurtured

even if it doesn’t feel that way

I long to let the light in…

It’s such a wacky thing, how hard it is…

Let me raise my head and meet your eyes

Let me let the light in please

Have you shared yourself today?

Today my mind won’t let go

And being perfect doesn’t sound freeing at all, just like a whole lot of pressure.

If only I could bestow upon you the knowledge of your own perfection.

Perfection exactly as you are. Messed up and crazy, or delightful and funny, or brilliant or stupid, I don’t care. You were made perfect. You are doing exactly what you were meant to in this moment. There’s nothing else.
