It's getting tough now, to all except those in avoidance or denial,
(denial is not just a river in Egypt!)
But I tell you that's okay.
Let it grind you. If there's anything resisting inside, anything identifying, that's where to work.
Do you want it to be easier? Do you want it to go away? Who does?
It's only ever identity. And identity, no matter how compelling, is NOT your friend.

The only strength is true surrender - to having deepened and ground down right into the truth.
Surrender, not as in the acceptance of anything goes,
But, surrender to the step you know in your heart of hearts is right.
It's never easy, seldom convenient, but it is the way.

Ours is a curious existence right now.
It will be founded more on loss than gain...
The more you lose but can let go, the more you will gain.
What else enduring can there be, but the immaculate forging of soul?

So, when the water rises, swim...

Open 🙏
