Willing to experience aloneness

Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere.
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within.
Opening to my loss,
I gain the embrace of the Universe.
Surrendering to emptiness,
I find fullness without end.
Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me,
and becomes itself transformed
into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so;
who has crafted this Master Game.
To play it is pure delight.
To honor its form, true devotion.
