Arrows of clarity are hurled across the bow of a ship called Your Resistance; shot there to pierce your bound up heart.
Darts of openness are flung across the hull in an attempt to crack the hardened shell that keeps Love out.
Broken by brokenness, what you want most is healing.
Throw your anger overboard! It no longer serves you.
Release the coiled anguish that is tangled, like so much matted twine, around the coral reef of your heart!
Extricate the venom of all-consuming hurt that encases your willingness like a shroud, and spit it out like the vile poison that it is!
Untwist the distorted, pain-filled knot that binds you to your fears; holding you down while you drown in them!
Unravel the restraints that keep you tied to the cracked and crumbling mast of the role of observer which distances you from any real feelings; keeps you separate from your life.
Find your honesty. It is the life jacket that will rescue you.
Own your truth. It is the lighthouse that will guide you.
Allow yourself to climb, exhausted, into the waiting lifeboat of hard earned happiness.
Kick against the crashing waves of your self-destructive habits.
Decide that you are tired of choking on the the roiling waters of your deepest sorrows.
Make obeisance to any god that will listen and believe in your ability to swim.
