What can you do
to comfort me
Do not weep with me
Do not pity me
Do not judge
Do not talk
Just sit with me
Just be still
Just be present
Just hold me
Be the space
Be the silence
Be awareness
Just be Love …
When I comfort you in your grief,
do I want your grief to go away?
When I comfort you in your pain,
do I want your pain to go away?
What is grief, in essence?
What is pain, in essence?
What is comfort, in essence?
I am here for you
I am with you
I am you
… and if that is comfort
I am comfort itself …
Butterflies of preciousness
Just woken up in openess
Fly so gently through thin air
On their way to no man’s land
Landing there in silent places
Of the open wounded heart
Working, still in loving comfort
Healing wounds that were not there
And return to distant farness
With a fragment of our hearts …
