I'm not here to convince you of anything

Consider this a buffet

of thoughts

laid bare

for you

to take or leave

ponder or ignore

keep close or share

At times

this food

may be sweet, amusing

At times it

may not digest well -

bitter, confusing

This is a discomforting time

feelings of disgust and shame

may arise

This is a discomforting time

As you process,

let go of what is dredged

the body, heart and mind

will naturally guide you

to emptiness – stillness - openness

It is in this space and time

that you will know

why there is no need

to be convinced of anything

you will know
