Through the Gateway

Through the gateway of feeling your weakness,
    lies your strength.

Through the gateway of feeling your pain,
    lies your pleasure and joy.

Through the gateway of feeling your fear,
    lies your security and safety.

Through the gateway of feeling your loneliness,
    lies your capacity to have fulfillment,
    love and companionship.

Through the gateway of feeling your hate,
    lies your capacity to love.

Through the gateway of feeling your hopelessness,
    lies your true and justified hope.

Through accepting the lacks of your childhood,
    lies your fulfillment now.
