“What is so comfortable about this place?
This space?
This feeling?
This vibration–
What is comfortable about it?
And how can you live without it?
Why would you live without
This comfort?
Is it familiar or unfamiliar where you are?
Is it where you live or somewhere far?
Are you alone, or are you with another?
Or are you just in the embrace of the Infinite Lover?
What is it that makes it so comfortable?
Is it because it makes you feel free
That you are allowed to be,
Where there are no judgments of ‘me’?
Just feel this comfort
How beautiful it is.
Why is it that you don’t give
This comfort to yourself all the time,
Where life can be so sublime!
Just feel this comfort, this blissful state,
You were born to live this fate,
This fate of this blissful comfort
Where you are at peace,
Where your burdens are released.
Be conscious of this place, this space
The comfort that you experience.
Could this place be real? Or is it just delirium?
If it is in your mind, then it must be,
Or perhaps, it is the magnificent possibility!
How will you bring this comfort back into your life?
Where you let go of all the agony and strife.
This comfort is here for you.
You are not deprived.
Even if there have been moments when you have cried.
This comforting place is always available
It doesn’t need to be a figment of the imagination
It can be the result of your creation.
Just feel this bliss
Grasp it
And pull it into your midst.
Thank you.”
