Cradle yourself

Cradle yourself like a child

Learning to trust what emerges

O Sacred Children!

it is some important that we treat those around us

gently

with compassion and generosity of spirit

but always remember

it is also important that we treat ourselves gently as well

knowing that we will never be perfect

but that we too deserve compassion

no less than those around us

succor for our pain, our wounds

self inflicted

or just because every life has some pain, some failure

and let us always remember that souls fueled by Sacred Presence,

souls that are treated gently,

will produce

good

fruit
