I turned down Bliss. Flat out. Ran as fast as I could.
Broke a sacred promise to my inner children.
So how come I'm not beating myself up? How come it feels like I am still floating in the Beloved's arms, warm, nurtured and loved? I know I read in yesterday's verse about the impartiality of the Master, but I still fear punishment from breaking promises and running with fear from the Master's gifts.
Today I carry a deep melancholy, missing joy, missing connection, wondering if I ever will have the guts to let go and immerse myself in Its sacredness.

Verse 6
The spirit of emptiness is immortal.
It is called the Great Mother
because it gives birth to Heaven and Earth.
It is like a vapor
barely seen but always present.
Use it effortlessly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Oh Great Mother, please hold me today. I won't grab; I will endeavor to be effortless in my connection, I will float in your arms. Allow me to weep, to nestle, to suck my thumb, to savor, to let myself be loved without conditions or expectations. Help me know what that is like. May I drink it in like nectar, may I know its essence to my very bones, may I remember and keep it to my heart. May I live it so that I may offer it to myself and to others always. May I live this day feeling your gentle embrace.
