Liberation is in-between

A lifetime fighting sides

one versus the other

the right against the wrong

jumping back and forward

running away from the undesirable, the evil, the negative.

Mistaking sides for who you are.

Until you give yourself permission to stay,

rest and notice both sides.

Until you realize this is peace

the place you've been searching

right here, in the in-between.

The place you never fought for

the only strategy you haven't experimented with.

The place you feared the most,

more than the one you hated being in.

In between has always been the invitation for wholeness

In between has always been liberation of suffering.
