Inner Resource

Deep within, there is a reservoir that catches the rain

Deep within, there is a well that never runs dry

This is the inner resource.

 

When we feel that the world can offer solutions

For security, contentment or fulfillment

We turn again within and discover

That home is there, belonging is there.

 

They are there to overflowing

But we are skeptical

We lose hope, we ruminate, we despair.

 

Instead, let us soften our hearts

Let us welcome the tears of vulnerability

Let the soft whisper of peace flow like water

And fill up the reservoir anew.
