Kindness

So how about
total kindness to yourself?
Scrap the need to feel good all the time
Scrap the resistance, criticising,
catastrophising
when you feel
anything other than good.
Cruelty of the highest order,
particularly
when the reasons for feeling off
arent actually clear.
Accepting one aspect of my reality-
the highs, the pleasure, the love-
and rejecting its shadow side-
the doubt, the dark, the lows-
gives me headache.
Engaging my intellect
to figure it out
hurts my head.
Too much tension.
I welcome.
I allow.
I embrace.

Have some coffee
Drop out of this head
Extend my tentacles
to feel the world
and abide in the kindness.
After all
I totally understand
when it happens to others...
