Space for you

In between the time of the moon’s rise to the east and the sun’s set to the west,
in between the time of harvest and the time of deep rest,
in between the time of youth and the time of elder’s wisdom
there is a space for you.

In between all that seems to be in this world,
there is space for you.
The doors are wide open.
The fire is lit.
A warm bowl of soup or
a soothing mug of tea awaits you.
All the comfort you might wish for is here.

Even when life seems impossible,
this space is here.
It is here for you.
It is here within you.

Let the mind turn from the toys it plays with,
the weapons it harms with,
the confusions it gets lost in.

Let the mind turn,
let the mind re-turn,
home to the heart.

Home where nothing is ever missing,
nothing is ever lost,
nothing is ever withheld
or pushed out.

At home in the heart,
every need is met.
Every true desire fulfilled.
Every prayer heard.

Here, in the heart.
Here, in the heart of your being.
Here, in the heart of all.

Rest, child.
There is a space for you.
