I watch you struggle to relax.

It's like you don't know how to relax.

You don't know how to rest.

You forgot how to rest.

You've been running for so long,

afraid that if you stop,

everything will stop, everything will fall.

Right now I need you to know that I'm holding it all up. I've lifted it off

of your shoulders. And I want you to have the strength to sit down, the strength to sit still.

Even if just for this time that we're together, that you hear this voice, reminding you that you are safe, that you can rest, that you are, rest.

The rest that body is experiencing, trying to match, trying to ease into is what you are.

You are silence. You don't have to try to get quiet. Those thoughts aren't

yours. That body isn't yours. Right now you see it and you still hear those thoughts coming and going,

but they're not yours. The silence is. I am the silence. I am that presence, I am that I am that you claim to be yours,

that you believe belongs to that body. There is only one appearing as all of this.

And I'm taking care of all of this for you.

It's all here for you.

I'm multiplying it for you.

Do not be anxious about the future.

Do not be anxious about your life.

As long as you fill me.

As long as you know that I am there, that I am is there.
