You no longer suffer from what is lost,
You know that what you lose is not your loss.
What you lose is not a cause to suffer,
What you lose is the cause of your suffering.
Losing the cause of your suffering:
This is a divine loss.
You are no longer at a loss for words,
As you were when you longed for
The never lost and the only now heard.
You no longer fear losing yourself.
How could you lose yourself?
Who you are is not a gift you can lose.
It is not a gift you are given one year for your birthday,
A gift you put in storage for a later time;
It is not a gift you misplace
And spend the rest of your lifetime searching for.
The time of your life is not Life’s time.
All the time you do not have is the time of Life.
All the time you do not have I do not have either.
All the time, weren’t you searching for
What is not mine and what is not yours?
You no longer suffer from what is lost,
You know that what you lose is not your loss.
You have lost nothing but the feeling that you are lost,
And the belief that you have something you can lose.
Now you take from all and no one feels taken from,
You give to all and no one feels in your debt.
What you have you don’t worry about losing,
What you lose you don’t worry about regaining.
What do you have?
What have you lost?
What do you lack now?
You thought in losing you would suffer more,
But what you’ve lost is not a cause to suffer.
What you’ve lost is the cause of your suffering.
Losing the cause of your suffering:
This is a divine loss.
This poem embodies the Christian message in a very pure form.
You have lost nothing but the feeling of being lost. Alleluia!
I just reread this. It is incredibly powerful. Nonie
Thanks for reading and giving feedback Nonie, I believe I had been reading a book about the Enneagram called Facets of Unity when I wrote this. Tell Big Art Happy Father’s Day from me.
