I made a vow to him one night as we were still damp 

from sweat and heat, I said, I pledge you my Truth

he spoke of the Nature of Mind

allowing boundary to arise from adoring care of self and other 

free from aggression

when there is discomfort or negativity in the dream 

the practice is to bring Love to it

I understand the fractured soul, the fragmented psyche

the kind where the mother tries to destroy the child 

or the mother kills herself 

it makes for a very different kind of life and practice 

we take care with the story and positionality
