I seek that (Posted on 28 October 2010)
I seek that
I do not try to understand you
for it is impossible
Instead
I seek to understand
that I can never understand you
and that brings me to my own peace.
I seek that
I do not try to remove your loneliness
for that is impossible
Instead
I seek to recognize
why I am so afraid to know you are lonely
and that brings me to my own truth.
I seek that
I do not try to entertain your seeking for approval
for that is impossible
Instead
I seek to investigate
why I play the rescuer role to feed your addiction
and that brings me to see my own shortcomings.
I seek that
I do not try to heal your abandonment dis-ease
for that is impossible
Instead
I seek to know
why I cannot stand seeing you being abandoned
and that brings me to my own understanding.
For you are merely mirroring my reaction
and in that
I respond with
love
for my own sake and also for you.
By saving you I am not saving you
By not saving you I am saving you.
