Dear Pain: A series of love poems and musings...

Dear Pain,

I will honor you with my stillness.
I will nurture you by filling my well of Self.

I no longer am scared of you.
I no longer abandon you.
I no longer feel ashamed of you.

I will say your name.
I will give you space.
I will give you voice.

I will breathe you in.
I will hold you.
I will give you purpose through cultivated creations.

You are mine as I am yours.
You are a great teacher.

Love,
Your Student
