The person you really are
Is forever waiting
To embrace you with open arms,
Tenderly encouraging,
Free of bias or judgment.

Once you are open to become
This Reality set out before you,
The world may breathe with more ease.

One of life’s great secrets is now before you.

Life’s treasures will open up to us,
By daily allowing fear to move,
Thus freeing up the imprisoning nature
Of shame and guilt.

The more you do this,
The more it will be true for you.

Thought will try to take you away
From practicing this secret.
You will succeed,
Just ask your body where your center is…

I received the poem above from a friend. The only reference given for it is this: Tao te ching; on the Lungs.
