THE POWER OF TRANSFORMATION IS LOVE
It took me a long time
To realize I had something useful
To offer the world
The majority of my life was spent
Avoiding pain and trying to hide
In anything that offered a cushion
Eventually I ran out of places to hide
And so a great turnaround happened
That took me to the edge of myself
Forced me to meet all the avoidance
And brought me up close to my pain
It took me a long time
To realize I had something useful
To offer the world
I call it love
But really it’s the possibility that we have
To transform our individual and collective pain
Through our efforts to stop running and hiding
And making the decision
To meet ourselves fully and totally
Without any more argument.
