When the ache rises and
Nothing makes sense
The brain, scrambled,
Claws at reason with desperate fingers.
Breathe
And with a soft smile whisper
Welcome and
Thank you
To this wise teacher, pain.
Resistance is pointless.
Close your eyes,
Turn within
And repeat gently
Until your heart pulses
With the belief,
I trust life. I trust life. I trust life.

Just what I needed to read tonight and so true…resistance is pointless. It’s so hard not to resist when life gives you pain, but I have learned (or am working on it) to try not to resist and just surrender. “I trust life”…I will be using this so much. Thanks for such inspiring words.
I’m working on it too Sheila. ~smile~
