Pain is not just a physical sensation,

but a portal which you can pass through.

It is an awakening, a reminder, an invitation.

Every needle prick contains the seed of deep trance.

Every crack of the whip conveys ecstatic revival.

Every form of pain is a prayer and you are the one begging.

Your inhale opens you to receive - your exhale vibrates with gratitude.

This symposium of the elements calms your mind

and you know you are in your place.
