My beloved child,
break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself
you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love,
which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come, your time
To live, to celebrate…
and to see the goodness that you are…
Let no one, no thing, no idea or ideal obstruct you
If one comes, even in the name of “Truth”,
forgive it for its unknowing
Do not fight
Let go
And breathe – into the goodness that you are.
Poem by Swami Kripalvananda
REFLECTION:
If you are like me, you often judge yourself. Yet I know this serves no one, least of all, me. How can you stop breaking your own heart and see the goodness that is you?
What will you do today to live, to celebrate you?
