Have you ever
read, seen, listened to something,
something amazingly inspiring.
Something moving and touching,
so true and timeless... that it depressed you.
Like glimpsing at God and knowing your greatness
but fear grips you like a disease
because knowing you're better is not enough.
When truth dawns on you, your lies are lifted, your image pierced
you see yourself in all your magnificence.
Magnificently doubting yourself,
as if it were possible that you were anything else than power.
Than energy.
Than love.
Than destiny.
So you sit and feel bad, suffering
from perceived suffering.
I sit with you, not as your coach
your friend
or an unexpected prophet
but as someone sitting on the same boat.
