I don’t want to suffer
if I don’t have to.
But I crave the gifts
that suffering brings.
I’m scared
of the “big one” -
that life-changing event
forcing me into final surrender.
Ram Dass was a deeply spiritual man.
God touched him, blessed him
with a stroke -
and he was so surrendered to it.
I saw how he was
and I wanted that.
If there’s some way
to get soft,
transparent,
vulnerable -
without losing anything…
Nevermind.
Indulging childish wishes.
