To all the heartbroken ones,
the misunderstood ones
To all you misfits, outcasts,
freaks and worldly failures
To the ones they jeer at, poke, ridicule and crucify
To all you lonely disillusioned poets and mad visionaries
To those whose worlds are falling apart
To those who have sought the Light for so long yet still feel far away
To those whose unshakeable absolutes have dissolved into the relative
To those whose hearts are burning up
To those whose dreams have crumbled to the ground
To those who have given everything for truth
To those who have taken the path of crucifixion over the path of worldly comfort
To all of you out there in the dark
I salute you
There is such dignity in what you are going through
Life has called you to the deepest kind of trust in your own experience
Do not turn away
This is your unique invitation
From the cosmic perspective nothing has gone wrong
Only the false can die
From the perspective of the heart
it is always a brand new day
Your beauty is your broken perfection
I walk with you,
my perfectly broken family.
