There's a humanity deep within suffering,
Which for the most part we miss.
We mistake the vulnerability for weakness and the pain for punishment.
As though the perception of weakness excludes any presence of strength.
As though the awareness of pain excludes the presence of pleasure.
But vulnerability and pain are two of our strongest allies.
Creeping into our lives to remind us that we are built with courage and made with hope.
To teach us to reach within and to find our own anchor in these tumultuous times.
I challenge you to breathe,
Slow down and listen to yourself.
There is capacity for all sensations dormant within you.
Accept that right now perhaps your suffering feels insurmountable.
Be comforted by this.
You are a vessel.
Without latent resilience embedded deep into yourselves,
How else would you recognise the crushing vulnerability you feel?
It's as though knowing one invites you to meet the other.
Without latent pleasure silently coursing through your veins,
How else would you recognise the searing pain enveloping you?
Knowing one by design means the other is known to you too.
You are a vessel,
Emptying and filling infinitely.
Reminding you of your humanity.
Your capacity to feel all things and all things pass.
All things pass.
That tear that trickles is humanity gently stroking your cheek.
That ache in your heart is humanity pumping courage into your veins.
That thought of I can't cope is humanity reminding you that the tide will turn.
Plato can take on all things �Now obeys but Child is gene and Judge To modulus times are life's reminders to stop.
To stop gripping onto the narratives.
To stop holding onto the past.
To stop clinging to that which can't be held.
Your capacity to weather storms is as infinite as the night sky.
Breathe in,

Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
That tells you you are weak and being punished.
You are a sentient being experiencing the darker aspects of humanity.
You are a sentient being experiencing the darker aspects of humanity.
In time your vessel will empty,
Making room for light.
Be reminded that you are living,
A divine manifestation of consciousness,
Fully supported and connected through breath.
Capable of journeying from darkness to light,
From light to darkness,
From joy to pain,
From pain to joy.
Emptying and filling,
Emptying and filling,
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
Infinitely.
You are a sentient being experiencing the darker aspects of humanity.
