Crutches and Chains

You are not a submissive mind. 

Or a dominant mind. 

You have attractions and desires. 

They aren’t you. They aren’t your chains. 

Neither are your life circumstances. 

You are, with the infinite. 

You experience this in the present moment.

Your mind is powerful. It is liberated. It is free. It can roam where it will. 

It needs love. It needs care and feeding and nurturing. 

It doesn’t need crutches, and it doesn’t need chains.
