Light And Dark
Light and dark,
Pleasure and pain,
And joy and suffering
can all exist within me
at the same time.
My task is to learn to adeptly hold space
for the various shades
of my experience equally,
without too much attachment
to what I do like
or too much aversion for
What I don’t like.
Letting life be, just as it is.
Letting myself be just as I am,
and allowing each sensation
to arise and move through me
just as it needs to
in each moment.
Light and dark,
Pleasure and pain,
And joy and suffering
Can all exist within me
At the same time.
