Witness

As long as you keep trying to become a good person

be it via excessive self-control or self-denial, 

you shall forever remain in conflict, with yourself;

and never really overcome or heal what you want to,

only suppress it for the time being.

Ego wants to become good

or behaves badly when sufficiently justified.

It is ego which tries to deny, or suppress ego.

It is ego that panics, makes excuses or fearful.

Soul only witnesses. 

Responds from inner silence, peace and stillness.

Make peace with who you are, where you are.

And that’s the beginning. 

No matter where you are. 

Healing is possible.

Just become aware of your unconscious habit patterns.

Respond with light, non-judgmental awareness.

Develop presence, and by and by the light 

will take over all the darkness.

Just learn to be.
