Precipice:

I’m called to trust, and of course, right now, it seems the hardest thing for me to do. This is the precipice and I’m on the cliff of despair, an edge of loss and deep sorrow. But I know exactly what to do, I always have, and yet somehow, it makes this final step much harder.

it’s time relinquish everything that’s without true value.

resigning, finally, as my own teacher.

and trust that love prevails.

always.

this is an important consideration, seeing the falsity of all I’ve valued, and how I’ve placed my trust in impermanence for so long. It’s time to ask for, to deeply know and understand that which is of true value, and to have faith in it’s availability. The ego will always have it’s demands, a list of treasures that never lasts and only brings a greater sense of insecurity.

but the heart knows what is true and real.

and on this precipice,

trusting,

that is all I ask for.

~

I love you, Eric
