The Drama of Wisdom
Intruder
Sound the alarm
An uncomfortable thought broke in
Another unpleasant memory with an unpleasant feeling
Back off, you invader
Leave me alone
I will resist you
I will cut you off
You’re an unwelcome
No.
Excuse me?
I said “No”
Who is this “I”?
I am the “I”
You are also the “I”
You’ve forgotten who you are
Just because it hurts doesn’t mean you’re going to die
I can be trusted with your thoughts, memories, and feelings
Yes, push back
Push back the smothering walls in this suffocating house
You can contain more – not less
Make room for what arises
These are not enemies
These are honored guests
Unpleasant at first yet the more you resist, the more they persist
They come from within, not from afar
Where else will they go?
They belong to you
You kick them out
And they’ll return
This isn’t a threat
It’s dharma, it’s reality
Treat them as allies, not as foes
The choices is yours
This house is laid brick by brick
This life is made, choice by choice
This one life is yours
All yours
