Pain and Suffering
We were once together in that bright space
But now we spin in our separate spheres
Sometimes distracted by pain
Other times worried by the suffering we endure ourselves
Or the problems others face.
When we look at one another
Really look deeply at that other person
And consider the difficulties they may be undergoing
We may wonder if there is a way we can help
With all the trouble we seem to encounter in our own lives.
But the lesson from that Bright Space is that we are all on this journey together.
You are learning what you need to learn,
And I am here to help you learn.
But I am also experiencing all the joy and sweetness,
Suffering and pain contained in this world.
And you are here to help me make it back to that Bright Space
Where we all will share all that has been learned.
Pain, trouble, suffering, and distress
Are all a part of this experience we desired
A desire so strong we left the Bright Place
So we could be all that ever was, ever is, and ever will be.
We will also experience all the joy, beauty, and happiness
Offered us in this wondrous place.
We are here together now
Trying our best to learn all we can.
And we are here together now
To help each other learn all we can.
When we look closely at that other person
No matter who, or when or where
We can still feel that connection
And know we are here for each other.
I can help you
You can help me
And when we decide to unite and work together
Heal together
Rejoice together
There is nothing we cannot overcome
There is no obstacle to stand in our way
And we will understand
We are learning all there is to learn,
And we cannot do it on our own.
Reach out today and see that connection
We once shared
That we now share
With everyone, everywhere.
