Beautiful possibilities

A homeless man taking an afternoon nap in the park...

We lie to ourselves because...
we're afraid truth will mean change...
and change will mean loss...
and loss will mean loneliness...
and loneliness will mean pain.


Pain is a feeling we try to avoid...
so we give our power to fear...

and live in a box called "prison".

Perhaps the real journey begins...
 when we free ourselves...
 of fear, pain, and loneliness..
by facing and healing our...
 deeply-seeded abandonment issues. 

And imagine that on the flip side of fear...
is a life more beautiful than...
 we've could have ever dreamt possible.
