PRISONER OF THE BELOVED
I do not know your name
But you have imprisoned me
I ceased dreaming of freedom long ago
I long only to be here
The only thing that hurts now
Is trying to escape You
Jeff Foster • Life Without a Centre • Nonduality, Enlightenment, Awareness, Awakening, and the search for Oneness.
A unique perspective on the origin and end of suffering. The discovery of a freedom that cannot be destroyed.
