MEETING THE UNKNOWN
Someone who had been friendly in life
seemed to turn unfriendly but meeting each experience,
recently pleasant or unpleasant,
An old habit of subtle shame with an open heart
and finding fault with oneself allows enough space
bubbled up to the surface for all sensations and feelings
After a while to be gently held
and over the days to come just as they are
these feelings released a bit in an open palm
allowing a new sensation with no need to change
of tenderness to arrive anything
both for self and other
So much is unknown John Pollard, is a spiritual director and psychotherapist in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. John previously served as a member of
the SDI Coordinating Council.
