Out

Let’s care for our bodies, but also care for the bodies of others.

Let’s self-reflect, but also reflect on the lives of others.

Let’s listen to ourselves, but not exclusively.

Let’s explore the costumes we call identities,

but not let them suffocate or limit us.

Let’s learn, but not get attached to being the knowers.

Let’s participate spontaneously and not study our public faces.

Let’s worship, but not to gain approval or admiration.

It’s okay to forget ourselves in the service of others.

It’s okay to just let ourselves happen.

We’ve arrived, and so we belong.

Our value is gem-like, indestructible, and shared with all.

Nothing needs to be demonstrated or proved.

Our unique dimensions shine naturally like

mountains of gemstones.

We are naturally equal and naturally wild.

We are always victorious, from the beginning

and yet if we insist on these understandings,

we will be victorious again.

with infinite love,
