Relief

Relief

Remove  just one shackle that keeps you chained

to this old way of thinking;

take one brick away  from the load

you  carry on your back;

pour  one drop of truth's elixir between

your parched and blistered lips;

apply cooling ointment to one wound

that oozes and throbs from the captor's whip;

give yourself  one moment to sit and rest 

your weary bones and hurting feet;

allow yourself  just one breath of freedom

from the torment your mind inflicts...

so mercilessly....

....and you will experience Relief.

 

Relief is not something I or the world can offer you.

It is something you must give yourself....

for you are both the captive

and the captor

in your story of Dukkha. 

 

Be kind...

remove yourself from this suffering....

with one bout of relief at a time.

Set yourself free....

and all will follow.

Hmmm!  Had another one of those, "Oh you gotta get up!"  moments last night.  I didn't get up (I am just so tired these days lol). I had one word circulating through my mind all night and I cannot even remember what that word was...but this morning, this came to me.  Whether or not it is related to what was going on in my head last night, I will never know :). It really doesn't matter.

All is well!
