And one evening around midnight

When I was feeling scared and nervous and weak, alright, there came a knocking gently at my door and I heard her say,

“Tre, this is M. Complete. No need to be worried”…

I open the door a bit timidly, where she smiled so warm and hugged me genuinely.

Tenderly she gazed into my eyes and held my hands.

“Dear Tre,” she said, “let’s not entertain or spend time with the Lack Gang this evening.

You already have within you all you need to be.”

And I looked at her like, How did she know?

How did she know that the Lack Gang was texting up my phone.

Not Enough sent messages all day.

Not Intelligent was right behind her, cackling in her ways.

Not Experienced had called and left a voicemail.

Not Mature followed up with a kind of unkind letter in the mail…

“Promise me you’ll stay close with me and lean and hug as much as you need…

You sweetheart are whole right now…

You sweetheart can block out the echo of their messages.

Let me show you how…

The more you keep your attention on me, the more you will feel able now to be…

How about I stay the night with you in your guestroom and just let you feel how safe you are stepping in this now new…”

And with that, I felt a calm I hadn’t known,

For Complete was fully in my thought home…

I wonder if you’ve hung out recently with the “Lack Gang,” too…

Coming out of nowhere, as they seem to, “not enough,” “not good enough,” and all their besties try to take over our thinking.

But right there, always, is our acquaintance who can become a friend: M. Complete.

As I shift my attention to this thought friend, I remember: I am complete.

And somehow, that changes what I am seeing as true and possible for myself… and for others.

What might change for you today if you gave less attention to the “Lack Gang” and a little more attention to the possibility that you are already complete?
