As a child of heaven and earth,
you are a mix of infinite openness and finite limitation.
This means that you are both wonderful and difficult
at the same time.
You are flawed, you are stuck in old patterns,
you become carried away with yourself.
Indeed, you are quite impossible in many ways.
And still, you are beautiful beyond measure.
For the core of what you are is fashioned out of love,
that potent blend of openness, warmth,
and clear transparent presence.
Boundless love always seems to sparkle
through your limited form.
