The Alchemy of Welcome

Perceive problems and they will stay,
See the gifts and find your way.

Hold on tight and it will fall,
Open your hand and receive it all.

Turn away and the issue spirals,
Face into life and the field enlivens.

Stifle anger and it takes hold,
Welcome the rage and find your bold.

Ignore the sadness and wither so small,
Accept the feelings and trust the call.

Stay on the surface and miss the meaning,
Go down deep and find love’s leaning.

Tense yourself up and lose control,
Relax into love and watch it unfold.

Spinning around and to live is a labour,
Stillness comes and you taste the flavour.
