Doubt your Doubt

Doubt your doubt.
Be kind to yourself,
for all our sake.

Doubt the evidence you use to prove
that fear rules the day
and all is lost.

Doubt the voice that says
you’ll never make it,
never have,
the voice that says
you don’t belong,
never did.

Doubt the voice that says
insanity has the power.

These lies live on borrowed time.
They need your daily consent
to keep you captive.
They need your invitation
to occupy your mind and sight.
They need your confusion
to have you believe that you are weak and afraid.

Wake up love!

OK, so you’ve been fooled,
just like the rest of us.
You are also just as worthy as any of us,
just as capable to serve the vast intelligence
and infinite potential of creation,
just as ready to discover this majesty as your true self,
even as you are simultaneously humbled to the core.

Every exhalation
a chance to surrender and release.
Every in breath
an opportunity to open wider.

Fear not, your roots will find their way
to the native trust
that fills every particle
of our one, huge, quiet heart.
Look out at the world from this place
and then tell us what you see.
