The following is from the 151 writings on love, intimacy and the path to inner peace from David's book, Phoenix Soul: One Man's Search for Love & Inner Peace © 1998 David Essel

Stumbling Yet Growing

Feeling our pain
Can mean freedom from relentless thoughts
Growth
At time matched with discomfort
      Like removing a thorn
      From the lion's paw
      The initial hurt runs deep
      But relief quickly follows
My sensitive tears
Freeing unseen feelings
Just sit with them
Can you?
      Uneasy times
      To speak my mind
      Don't patch me up
      Be with me
I peek around the corner
To look at my growth
Embrace my fears
With caring, silent lips
      Let our eyes speak
      Paragraphs from the heart
      I see you can acknowledge
      The path I'm stumbling down
