Pain my dear teacher
I sit at her feet
listening
observing
resisting the temptation
to lash out
to look away
to run
what is she trying to say
what are her lessons
what wisdom
does she impart
am I willing to lean in
to feel
to learn
to grow
to be a disciple
of the wielder of the blade of love
that both cuts and heals alike
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
