We naturally do not want to deal with seeming unpleasant feelings such as fear of abandonment and emptiness. Yet, somehow, we face our fears and insecurities, willingly or unwillingly, throughout our lives. Look for the opportunities that may arise which may take you toward what you deeply desire.

 Get naked with yourself

Let go of protective clothing and masks

See yourself without the masks and the shields

Face the truth!

Not the truth of what you think

The truth of what is

Be prepared to allow your old self to die!

Be prepared to erase the memories of your past identities

Face your biggest fears

Eye to eye

Nose to nose

Shoulder to shoulder

Stay with it

Do not blink!

Fear suddenly dissolves

It vacates its spot in your psyche

You will feel its emptiness

You have lost an old companion!

Know that there is a great prize awaiting you

You can feel and smell it

Tremble in emptiness and nothingness for a while

Stay with it

Do not look back

You are almost at the gates of the open door

You are becoming excited

You are overcoming the fear of nothingness

You have not disappeared

You are still here!

The empty spot of fear is now filled with God’s love

You now remember

You are becoming alive!

I think I'll go take my clothes off and give myself a self examination… Maybe a selfie or two… ;-)

Seriously, a fine poem with a very good message.
