as the everythingness of nothingness
builds at a frenzied pace
i wonder how we are keeping
our collective shit together

there is change
and
there is unchange
and
the choice is in our hands

i am bumping up against a swelling
and rising of old old energy,
as we all are

but knowing that i have the choice
to cling and quiver
or glide and accept
does not make
the task any easier

a self-worth
that is bruised
is not beaten

but the ability to flow thru
like a tsunami or a revolution
undeterred by the loops
of mind playing out on the periphery

keeps me pushing forward
in the timelessness of eternity

to what do i owe my good fortune,
what gods have shined down
to find me here now
safely swaddled in love and acceptance?

i do not have much from a societal perspective
but i am rich in so many other ways

so i give thanks and thanks
and thanks again
as i work to keep my heart open
and my mind free from its attempts
to cling to fear and uncertainty

as i know that all the wisdom of the universe
is available in my heart

i weep openly for this to become a contagion
and spread across the planet

peaceandlove

always
