Salt only hurts when there’s a wound

Someone else’s salt.
Your wound and pain.
Their salt didn’t your wound create.
Their salt just revealed to you the opening, the break.

Like a canary in the coal mine,
The pain calls to you that
Something is awry.

Go to the pain.
See it for what it is.

Diving into the pain
frees you from it.

When their salt no longer hurts,
You know that wound is healed.

Namaste.
