No One is Going to Save You

No one on this earth, or in this universe is going to save you, but one. You. You are the only one and the sooner you realize it the sooner your painful, aching suffering will melt into joy and peace. Do not look outside yourself for a hero or a lover to carry you; make you whole. They may pick you up, but the drop will surely come. This is the illusion: "There is someone "out there" who will complete me, make me whole, be a perfect mate to create the ultimate partnership that will finally mean an end to my suffering alone." Don't buy it. You are whole and complete and perfect already! And you are not alone--although it can sometimes appear that way. You don't NEED anything more than yourself to experience joy and peace and love. And if you can't imagine that, it only means you have yet to begin the journey to the center of your soul. Or so I believe as of this writing. So begin it now! And be very wary of those who offer to carry you; that is surely the fast path to disappointment, deep hurt and suffering—for both of you. Be well! -Zack -------------------------------------------------------------- Seek not to follow in the footsteps of the wise; rather seek what they sought. - Basho
