The way light
Plays upon things
On a silver morning
When the rains subside
And dawn sprays
Silver light
Upon reflective surfaces
Makes everything bright
And the normal things
Are obviously
Godlike with radiance.

All these bottled messages
Washing upon our shores
The place is practically
Littered with them.
Who has the time
To read them?
I say,
What else are you gonna do?
I've found
(Maybe too late in life ๐)
Scheduled difficulty
Whilst technically
Adding difficulty to life
Brings strength
To weather
Surprise difficulty.
So now
Difficulty has less impact.
The goal isn't an easy life
It's one without the impact
Of suffering.
I'm not exactly here
So much as
The moment;
I'm here-
As the totality of past, present, and future
On the timeline among infinite timelines
To which I am most aligned.
What I've noticed
The future is subject
To what you really want.
But knowing what you want
Is the tricky part.
Maybe you think
You want wealth
But really,
You want freedom.
So chasing wealth
Ends up getting you neither.
Boil down
What you want
And why you want
If you want ๐คท
I'm not your boss.
Two part
Thought experiment:
Part One:
You're not actually in the present.
You're gifted a once in a lifetime chance
To be here in the past
To make it right this time.
Part Two:
It's no longer once in a lifetime.
Instead,
It's every moment.
Maybe the gains
Of the games
Of vampires
Are not obvious.
But trust
Like you trust
In the eventual sunrise
The parasites
Are always playing games.
Maybe we're parasites too
If we zoom out;
But at least
We have moments
Of transcendence.
The mantra
"Be positive"
Suggests a lack
Of positivity.
In a world
Of overwhelming positivity
The slightly less positive
Will be perceived
As the new negative.
We will never be
Without this duality.
So try this on instead:
Harmony.
The spiritual path
Is ultimately a path
Of self destruction
And no clear destination.
When you are sufficiently destroyed
You may notice
The path's destination
Was always right here.
The you that grows back
From sufficient destruction
Remembers the destination
Of the path never needed.
