Today I must recognize this feeling that has been rising up in me.

It is not something new, it has come before.

It is the darkness that is as real a part of me as any other feeling.

It does not need expression, and denial will only empower it.

Let me accept its’ presence and not indulge its’ attractions.

Let my thoughts and actions not find motivation here.

Let me hold to a deeper reality that is always present.

The inner peace that holds as emotions and events come and go.

The great reality, the great mystery, the unknowable truth-

But if we are willing life will teach us what it is not.
