As much as I live life to the fullest today, one day, I will be gone...
silenced, out of here, grieve if you must, shed some tears but this world means so much
more to me as I breathe, impossible magic, a strange experiment
under the microscope, within the Petri dish, a slide, the Milky Way...
cosmic mishmash of dust, a perfect alignment, within the universe...
how the earth found its place in the solar system, while the other planets...
as much as each evolved over billions of years as we perceive earth time...
situated "just right" like Goldilocks, neither "too hot" nor "too cold" but...
I see you imagine what I see, as divine, and not arbitrary...
life as given to us by God, a story told over generations...
imagine my mind clear of preconceived ideas, empty and in control...
visualize this planet early on as it formed too hot to sustain life...
evolution, call it what you want, but this earth allows life to exist...
linger but a moment on the turmoil of life as it began to cool...
in building with small blocks the interconnected chains of matter, we find
fullness arrives slowly, as if by chance, this world inhabited by life...
emerging from chaos, consciousness opens up, unfolds within us all...
tranquil in perception, perturbed within distress, time experiences
only through the body, beings within Being, time caught up within Time...
traveling the cosmos to perceive mindfulness, call it what you want, light...
humble, without ego, self-effaced in judgment of the self and others...
equanimity starts from this place, this moment, letting go of body...
forget all your worries, believe in the unknown, spirit, a guiding force...
until you drop your guard, this excessive desire to control destiny...
lift the veil of the bride, your companion in life, she is present to all...
let your anxiety melt away and accept the stream of consciousness...
ever mindful of self as a preconception handed down over time...
silence the monologue, incessant as sparrows chattering in a bush...
take a moment to breathe, this world, constant struggle to survive, to just be...
today, I am now here, now gone, now I return perhaps transformed by time...
obvious to no one how I perceive this world in the back of my mind...
daily, I awaken to both body and mind, milk poured into a glass...
ask yourself why this life, why this body and mind, form transcends emptiness...
yesterday, I woke up to voices of children playing in the backyard...
one day, I will be gone, we will all fade away into the cosmic dust...
never for a moment do I take for granted the blessings of this life...
everyday, something new appears to help me learn how to live in this world...
decide to let this world be as it is, enter the stream of consciousness...
as you cross from this side to the other shore, still people struggle to live...
yet, there is a balance, engage or don't engage, the balance is still kept...
I will be gone, one day in the future, now past, for all time is present...
wonders accumulate and disappear as sand castles built on the shore...
intervene in struggles if you have the power to change, to decenter...
life is full of battles, ignorant, bloody waste, time flows on eternal...
literally, I see all time as one moment, I imagine what is...
bursts of enlightenment, atomic energy, nuclear synthesis...
engage in the struggle as you will, your power grows and diminishes...
gone in a flash of light, Oedipus disappears while Theseus observes...
observe the clouds on high, the thunder and lightning of storms, childhood long past
nothing keeps me tied down to the ground but this weight, atmospheric pressure...
emptiness transcends form, the body and mind melt away to cosmic dust...
