you yourself have the power to change not only your life, but the whole world

it is true


cosmic dance
and lyrical fascination

but

reality transcends genre
transcends language

use the bridges
find the goal

cultivate an attitude of universality
one that sees beings equally
in their pursuit of happiness
in their pursuit out of suffering, misery, and pain

from the tiniest bug and bacterium
to the largest whale
the birds
the legg'ed
the born and yet-to-be-born

all beings strive for requiem

drop these identifications,
of dotted lines that cut the world
"the sky cannot be cut in two with a knife"

all beings
all beautiful flowers
from a seed do bloom

may conditions be fair
may soil be fertile
wet your headspace with equality
whet your blade with compassion,
vigilance to subdue the flirtations, the passions
that entrench unknowing mothers and fathers
in numbness and desperation

cut the ties
envelope and envelope'd
equal in the greatest sense
that toward peace and well-being

keep at heart the sufferings of all beings
their truest wish to be free of pain and anguish
equality of self and other
and you will go far.

    and you will go far
    :)

    How far is near
    How soon is now
    The world changes without effort
    Do we try for Nothing

    How Simple. How Extraordinary.
