Unpretty

Your unpretty is as valid as the pretty

Your morning breath is as valid and real

as your minty fresh breath

Your fat, your impulse to eat a whole

chocolate cake, a tub of ice cream is as valid and whole

as your impulse to eat a salad

Your addiction to alcohol, drugs, internet…

are still experiences of validity

A person may choose to stay drunk in a ditch

their entire life. Still, that experience is a real one,

a valid one, a sacred one

You can be poor, mentally ill and homeless

That experience is as sacred and real as that of a billionaire or Jesus

Your Lyme disease, dystonia, discombobulation, fibromyalgia…

are all valid experiences

We were programmed to believe that only

health, happiness, rich, pretty, famous, pain free…

states are the only tried and true states

we must strive to have

All others are conditions to be healed and cured

thrust into the garbage pile to be dismissed

Your early attachment is not a syndrome

It is an experience that is yours to have

Inhabit it, or not

Meet it

Breathe it in

Breathe it out

Each part of this circular existence

is a holy and divine

If you are feeling invisible

in this world,

that invisibility is as precious as

the visibility of a celebrity

Experience it as

the most precious gift

simply because you’re having it.

Your existence, your life

is a multidimensional

prayer,

a living, breathing, moving

prayer

It is through YOU the Divine

sees, hears, tastes, smells, feels and moves

in this world.
