Waking Up Is Scary

Waking up is scary.

The ego likes being in charge.

As I awaken, I increasingly realize it's not.

And that's hard.

So, I don't force it.

I practice being with the fear, as I gaze across the abyss, into the sublime.

And I thank this precious armor for keeping me safe, for protecting me from what's still too magnificent for me to fully behold.
