Safe

Watching the mind games is fascinating:

She texts
He doesnt answer
her body is burning
it is all wrong
and then an answer comes
and as if by magic
HE has made the world a Safe place.
It stops spinning and she is safe...
But how can his words
make any difference to her equanimity???
The world is still as it is-
as safe and dangerous as a moment before
She is still as she is-
as safe or endangered as a moment before
Nobody's words can make
any difference
to REALITY.
Sticking to reality
stripping the stories we tell ourselves
when did we lose this skill?
Was it thousands of years ago
or was it thirty?

Time to remind herself:
She is safe.
Ultimately she is always safe.
Nothing can destroy her
because what is important
is indestructible
and the rest
is temporary anyway.
This is OK.
Whatever happens to her
is OK.
Reality is always OK.
Whatever happens to her
has got nothing to do
with Him
where her safety is concerned
physical, emotional or otherwise...
Poor Man.
What a burden to carry.

She is safe.
She is always safe.
