Trying to be somewhere other than here, trying to have an experience other than the one you're having, trying to escape or push away the moment, trying to reach some future state, experience or event; it all becomes so exhausting in the end. 

But the end is really the beginning, and the exhaustion is really your dearest and most trustworthy friend, for it contains within itself an invitation to deep rest, and the end of seeking.

 Exhaustion is simply the One you long for, brilliantly disguised, whispering softly into your ear, "Surrender, my love. I am already here. 

No need to look elsewhere. 

Relax now. 

You are tired from seeking me, I know.

 It is safe to rest.
