In The Middle

Here we are
Right in the fucking middle.
Turns out we've been here the whole goddamn time.
I mean, secretly we always kind of knew we were, but still.
But it wasn't being in the middle of everything that had us on the run, is it?
That's not what we ran from, for all the good that running did us.
No matter where we ran or how well we hid, we'd see it right there.
At times, we hid so well that we'd forgotten that we had even hidden.
But that didn't even matter.
Eventually, after one or a thousand go-arounds
We'd open our eyes and find that we're still right in the center.
Right there with all that.
There it was, just waiting.
It's fucking huge now.
Waiting.
It's time though, we know that.
Avoiding it hasn't worked.
Not even a little.
Avoiding it, running only made us forget what it truly is.
We've been calling it by it's false name.
A name that's an enchantment and torture that we've crafted in our sleep.
Calling it by its false name binds us to the suffering and the hell of our separateness.
Calling it by its false name truly makes it unbearable.
When we call it by that name, when we call it my pain we can do nothing but run.
Sometimes, we get a glimpse and find relief by naming it our pain
Eventually, we remember that more and more.
We start to see that, when it's our pain.
That which binds us hand and foot to our suffering and hell.
Begins to fall away and hell itself begins to vanish.
When it's our pain, we can find the courage to experience it instead of running.
When at last we go all in and embrace it, we'll remember it fully.
Then we'll delight in alchemical joy as our suffering becomes grace.
In our joy, we begin to transmute our pain creatively and in love.
We find that we're still right in the middle.
Now full of giggles.
That which once held such dread, now sits transmuted in glory.
It was for this moment that we chose all of it.
Even hell.
In ecstacy, we at last go forward to enter into union with our love.
With a mischevious grin, we call our love's name out.
It is the name we choose every time.
Our name and our beloved's.
The sacred name is our true identity and all there is.
At last we embrace our beloved, choosing it all, and speak:
LIFE
