Charge
Descend
into the pit of yourselves
made deep by pain.
Experience deeply
guiltless, fearless, honesty.
Learn to honor your experiences
as though each of them is your own child,
each a seed to gestate, cradle, nurture,
to re-birth as art
(pain twice-born!)
to unfold
as the flower of compassion.
