Leave it behind, quit these walls and loosen those ties.
You might feel hopeless, you might feel the task impossible.
But you don't realise the power within you,
shrouded in darkness at the core of you who you are.

This power blinds like the sun, it cannot be gazed at too long.
Though it illuminates the known world, its radiant source can only be glimpsed in fragments.
Just as you cannot taste your own taste buds or bite your own teeth,
so you struggle to perceive the light behind your thoughts.

This light is called Love and is all that really exists.
You are Love, and Love is everlasting and imperishable.
Birth and death, creation and destruction, are threads in the tapestry of Love.
Love gives birth to the forms around you and plays hide and seek within them.

Do you hear the laughter outside?
Do you see the sun pouring through the windows, dust particles dancing in its light?
Wait no longer, open the door.
Step outside and feel the warmth on your skin.
