Reasoning

After the convulsive flex of fear,

we come back, we take stock,

and we see

there is nothing we can stand on

except what we have always known,

nothing we can flee to

except the truth

If Life planned to destroy us,

it would have done so a long time ago.

If Life could destroy us

it wouldn’t exist

for it would have discarded

the love-cohesion

that holds things together.

It couldn’t make a universe

without being Love,

and it couldn’t be Love

without cherishing each of us.

What Love cherishes,

it can’t destroy,

so we are safe,

as is every being

that moves in the grand circles

that constitute everything.

This is the truth we stand on.

Fear couldn’t find it for us,

and fear can’t take it away.
