Mantra of Powerful Dragon

growing up,
having very low self-esteem,
being bullied, eating alone in the cafeteria,
hating myself, my life, my world, and my reality
noticing one day a white dove landing close to me . . . .
having cats walk up to me and rubbing against me . . . .
walking backwards, thinking, . . .
pretending to not see a squirrel, he
pretending to not see me, . . .
standing within 6 inches of my foot, . . .
having a dog follow me home, later finding his owner . . .
thinking I was ugly, never asking girls out on dates, . . . .
noticing some following me, and smiling at me, . . ..
having a dream of flying high, being like a dove of peace,
looking into my heart one day,
listening to thy inner voice,
inner pain, the Dragon wakes up
understanding that self-compassion is needed,
waking up and enjoying life, . . . .
feeling alive for the first time, . . . .
chanting aloud this mantra:
repeating again and again . . .
I love you! . . . .
I love you!
I love . . . .
you!
