please forgive me.

I know what it feels like when someone comes on much too strong

as if their way were the only way.

We’re all in this thing together:

this thing about wanting to awaken fully.

Sometimes I meet a new level of exhilaration

and want to give it toeveryone instantaneously.

In fact I too had to go through much preparation, heartache and doubt

to reach positions you may have been

wanting me to see long ago.

Some things take 500 minutes – others 500 years –

We’re all in this together <3 .
