Part two

“You may not like this” whispered Courage that day.

“Tell me the task.”

“Toss away emotional clutter.”

Deep pain awakens deep enlightenment.

Hurt long held, ensures over arching control by persons and events.

Oh, the struggle with ego when gratitude is required!

Fidget and fuss if needs be. Finally allow Courage to guide.

For fortune favours the brave.

“Thank you for the tenderness and compassion I feel for those people, and especially for myself.”
