Do not reject a sense of rejection,
or abandon a feeling of abandonment.
Do not resist your resistance,
or run away from the urge to run away.
Do not make sadness sad by leaving it,
or enrage anger by disconnecting.
Or make loneliness more lonely
by pushing it away.
Hold the broken heart
with as much love
as the happy heart.
Never lose the sense of being lost,
and do not doubt the presence of doubt.
Do not fear fear,
or desire the absence of desire,
or worry about worry;
and if you do,
don’t worry!
All parts of you are sacred,
the light and the dark alike.
All are worthy,
deserving of unconditional love.
