Return to Sender With Love

Don’t hang onto stories that are not your own
Don’t hold these feelings that belong to another
Bless and send them along with consciousness attached
To the sender, who needs to attend to them
Just like that
Don’t linger on the problems of others
Avoiding the task of dealing with your very own
Let them be demoted in your mind space
For peace is hidden in the folds of your attention
That you give to yourself
The time that you take learning life’s lessons
Specially formulated for your specific growth
I’m not advocating having no heart
Or ignoring those in need that are crying for help
I’m merely saying to not look to be the helper
When you are secretly drowning in your own flood
But be first in the flow of your love
