Wow, a deeply moving poem Alex, thanks so much.

Over and again it speaks of surrendering into our perceived challenges. It seems that the deeper and darker the challenge, the greater the expression of light that arises from it. After all, we only learn through relativism.

And I died and was reborn
into an exquisite solitude and stillness.
That connected me to all things.

Those lines really resonated with me. Why not totally embrace 'ego death' and unfolding when that sublime exquisiteness of rebirth awaits? In this moment, these words are well received.
