Comfort : confusion

You bring me comfort

But my comfort rests also inside of me

In making peace with the hurting places

With accepting I am deeply human

And falliable

And that I have a shadow side

Comfort comes from the open holding place

From seeing deeply in

With allowing the mess

As a creative force

With expanding the self to encompass

Contradictions and opposites

There is a place where duality cleaves us

And makes us enemies

But there is a place where we see that duality

Is only one form of perception

That may be surrendered

As we find the capacity to grieve

And in grieving

Undo all of these

Optical illusions

Oh life

You can be at times

So full to the brim with confusion

But confusion will break apart fusion

And we will find a new life

Inside the emerging field

That opens as we surrender to it all

Holding nothing back

Most of all

Our capacity to

Deeply love
