You've exhausted every path.

You've exhausted that mind, every human way and manipulation.

You planted much, but you sowed little.

You work hard, but you collect just enough to get by.

You eat, and then you're hungry again.

You drink, and then you're thirsty again. You distract yourself, and then you're hungry again, you drink, and then you're thirsty again.

You distract yourself, and then you're sad again, you're lonely again, you're confused again,

you're reaching, seeking again, and then you wake up from that nightmare to love again.

This is the way that it unfolds. There's no way for you to skip past the back and forth,

but you can be the one that is not going back and forth. You can witness the backsliding and the

progress, the backsliding and the progress, the distraction and the focus, the confusion and the

clarity. You see it from a higher

position. You are higher than this. You don't need that character to smile or to be happy. You are

happiness. You are joy. You are love watching the movie unfold. And it's like your love begins to unfold. As the movie,

that character that you took yourself to be begins to fill you in its midst. And that's why it

prays more. Still not as much as it could. Maybe it tries to work out. Maybe it tries to eat better. Maybe it

finds itself luckier than it used to be that things work out. It's optimistic, but you're not

any of that. You're not in any of that. You witness it. You detach from it. This is your position. It's a power position, a power play. When you stay back here, up here, in here, everything works out there. I love you.
