Meditation Poem

This post is different from my usual posts, but an insight during a meditation brought me clarity and calmness in response to an emotion that I am currently experiencing, so I wanted to share in the hope that it helps you too. Hx

We experience darkness, so we can fully appreciate the light.

We experience fear, so we can fully appreciate courage.

We experience illness, so we can fully appreciate health.

We experience conditional love, so we can fully appreciate unconditional love.

We experience disability, so we can fully appreciate ability.

We experience helplessness, so we can fully appreciate support.

We experience limitations, so we can fully appreciate abundance.

We experience poverty, so we can fully appreciate wealth.

We experience loneliness, so we can fully appreciate companionship.

We experience sadness, so we can fully appreciate happiness.

We experience weakness, so we can fully appreciate strength.

We experience hatred, so we can fully appreciate love.

We experience exhaustion, so we can fully appreciate energy.

We experience anger, so we can fully appreciate peace.

We experience pain, so we can fully appreciate comfort.

We experience death, so we can fully appreciate life.
