There are two modes of being.
One is green and glowing expanding outward and changing the world. Its vibrant and exposed, with all the risk and glory that brings. It breathes new life and it is in the moment, yet in the future, and still mindful of the past. This mode of being - is joy.
The other mode of being is pain, fear, it is hatred, it is closed off and within itself, it seethes in its own pain, withdrawn from the world because of the pain it has suffered. It has died a warrior's death, and recedes into itself. It knows only pain, and wishes desperately to expand outwards and be free.
Which mode of being do you relate to right now?
