What if in this right now moment here
We defend the truth: I am loved
not because of another’s hug…
or a boss that says ‘good job’…
or a parent’s “well done kiddo”…
or all the friends we have and evidence in a photo…
or because of a “like” “retweet” or new follower or friend…
but because right here now, we’re Love’s children.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And what if in the defending this truth
we practice saying “I am loved” …
and fathom its meaning instead of just being amused
If so, could we find that this thought warmly holds
and hushes ‘I’m not good’ enough when that old story wants to be told?
Or, could we fill thought with joy and stillness?
steada rewinding and replaying the old mp3 “I’m such a mess!” ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To really know I am loved would surely be tender, splendid, indeed!
Yet I see you assuming “It’ll take a ton of thought work to truly believe
I am worthy of such a truth not just in meaning but in thought and deed.
or maybe you’ll say ‘That never works for me….
I’ve tried. I’m not buyin. Pitch it to someone else, Tre.”
So yes, I’m nodding with you….
because that’s how I used to think, too.
“Works for them…but won’t for me…
I’ve done too much wrong…
Love feels out there inaccessible for me.”
So I get it, truly I do that this truth feels sometimes out there.
But in that same moment, thought can shift and hold it close…..as in right now, here.
“I am loved”
It may sound hokey or just verse…
a line from a poem…text from a book…
someone else’s truth lived and rehearsed…
But over a while we come to know
Its really ours too and we’re allowed now to feel it so…
Tis the toughest work I know…though, this is true.
It’s almost easier to cling to and thus live
“I’m a wreck”
“No one sees me”
I’m nodding with you….
Believing “I am loved” means we’re ready to shed the past and cease shunning ourselves through and through.
Yet, what if instead of thinking we need a huge overhaul,
we try and take it moment by moment…that’s all.
And in thought by thought-ing our now
surely that way we wont feel alone and will begin to live this true wow.
I am loved.
And in this one moment
To defend I belong
And that my life, my very being now is my song
So join me today, Monday
to “MOM” it with me
