What Vampires Need
The vampires gather around me,
But no, no, no, they can't do that,
angling to take a bite.
They want to drink my blood of courage,
They want to drink my blood of courage,
and try to take away my fight.
But no, no, no, they can't do that,
for one truth I've learned in life.
You want to scare away the vampires,
you simple guide them into the light.
From the song 'See you in the Light' by Michael Franti
What do those vampires within us need? Light. Let's practice today when we feel something we don't want to feel or something happens that we wish would happen differently, to simply breathe. Lead those vampires into the light with breath. When you feel scared, breathe. When you feel mad, breathe. Often we want to jump to action and change what is outside of us so that we feel better. The Light can handle our darkness, if we let it. Breathe in the light and see what happens.
