I truly do believe
That there is always a part of ourselves that is complete
That is not touched by all the traumas
And all the neglect
A sacred, silent, soulful part of us
Which can witness all our wounds
And bind them up
Knowing they are not the full truth of us
There is always a part of us
That is whole and complete
We need to end the identification forever
With the wounded self
We need to know there is a place in us far deeper
That has the capacity to embrace
Even the most agonising feelings
And hold them in love
A place in us that holds a lamp of light
That can illuminate the darkness
And in time dispel the pain
But this requires of us a deeper letting go
And an undoing of the illusion of hurt and pain
An understanding of
The most powerful transformative potential
Of our awakened soul
