Friendships begin
Not with others
But with oneself.
Being your own
Best friend
Now, here.
Clearly knowing
Who you are
What you cherish.
Steadily being
Your true centre
Vaster than space.
Be still and know
Inwardly heal
And let go.
The past is gone
The future unknown
Now is the knowing.
Rest in presence
Choosing wisely
Quality over quantity.
Friends nourish
Vampires drain
Truth sets you free.
Be still and see
See and know
Come alive, be free.
