Enlightenment in a few easy steps

See the truth behind the masks and charades

See God in everything and everyone

Do every action

And think every thought with love

transcend that

And you will be enlightened

Hide

sometimes I hide

Hide from the feelings that hurt

Dissappointment

Grief

Anger

Distress

Angst

Fear

Pain

Despair

I run from them

To things far more toxic

Than just sitting with them

Letting them be

Letting the emotions come

And wash over me like a giant wave

And then

Eventually

pass

Which they always

But no

I anxiously panic and set myself  into action

And these actions

These remedies

Are far more disastrous than the actual causes

If only I could just bare it

If only I could sit

In stillness

In acceptance

In patience

And quietly wait

For the rainbow
