Spiritual Exercise

I heard an interesting exercise.
Fold a paper in half.
Write five things that annoy
You about your spouse.
On the other half, write your response.
Throw away the spouse’s part.
Meditate on your response.
That’s you. Ugly.

I wonder: what if you took a paper
And wrote five things
You love about your spouse.
On the other half, write your response.
Because that’s you, too.

Is there a reason we always focus on the ugly?
Is there no place for celebration of the light?
