Let yourself be
Let your self breathe
Don’t let the internal judge
Extrapolated from the foolishness of a culture at large
So often driven away from itself
And from inner meaning
Tear you to shreds inside
Today you may need to
Lie in bed a little longer
Spend some time looking at the stars
Let go of some of your list of things to do
To just embrace the present moment
And feel the kiss of the sun on your cheek
What is most sure is this
That no moment is lasting
We cannot bind to us the things we wish so hard
Would stay
But we can
Just for this moment
Open our heart wide enough
To embrace them
Touch them
Taste them
Savour them
And even if
This present moment contains fear
We can say
Fear I am here
I see you
Tell me what you have to say
I will not fight you any more
I will not turn my face
Away
And then fear may just turn to us and say
I am so scared that if I
Don’t keep you running
I fear you will not exist
And you can say to fear
I hear you
And I understand
Now lets just be
Emerging From The Dark Night 
To “just be” takes work and patience. It’s like meditation, you can’t just stop everything one day and just be. You have to understand what it means to immerse yourself in such a thing, that it’s like taking a bath.
I am in the middle of a “just be” phase of my life where I had to loose myself of certain preconceived notions and separate myself from people and places I still love very much. I needed to take this time for myself, and maybe it’s selfish but I still needed to.
Beautiful words, as per usual.
Peace and light

I am so pleased you could give yourself that gift. Of course societies view often is that such time IS selfish but I think its important at certain stages in our lives to draw within for sustenance and to know our deeper heart.

I agree. Anything that is done with the purpose of making a better me for all involved is a good thing, I think.
