I will drop
into this quiet place,
into this cozy nest
where I am cherished and protected
I didn’t make this nest,
and I can’t make one for you,
but it is here
and you can drop in, too
This could be
the belly of a fish,
this could be your last fall
into desolation,
but what you find here
is the forever love,
the law that claims you as its own.

Here where you are,
as you are held,
nothing can jostle
your settled being
No shock nor growl
can stop the steady purring
of your confidence,
your centered peace
Not even a thousand
murmuring grumblers,
self-justified and full of disapproval,
can ever touch you
Even if it seems like
they got inside
and are screaming at you
from within —
they can’t —
they aren’t you, and never have been
Here where you are
in the Principle that holds you
you are always safe.
