it is opposition to experience that creates suffering
notice in you
that you have the space for all of it
without even trying
it all has come upon you
and you did not crumble
it tried to trick you
and sometimes you wonder
if it will win
but this too
is an experience
and without any effort
you experienced it
and if your body suffers
and your mind follows
this too
is all yours
to have
and to hold
as long as you’d like

and your breath today
could be tomorrow’s stain
and
this
too
is
yours

and someday
you may notice
you have space
for every bit
of all of it

and when at last
life drinks you up
you
will be all of us
who had the privilege to have
any part of you
