SOFTEN UP AND LET IT BE
Nothing of any true value
Can be found through force
It is in the tenderizing,
The surrender and the softening
Of the rigid and righteous ego
That the subtle beauty
Of our innermost
Reveals itself
We are conditioned to believe
We have to be hard as stones
To survive this human experience
Yet all this hardness brings
Is isolation and cynicism
Softening is the way of truth
For in softening we must meet everything
And in meeting it we learn to allow it
And we stop trying to control everything.
Have a great weekend
