keeping it real

Updated: Nov 12, 2020


my motives

called here to focus on me.

a role to play.

a boundary to protect.

· identity me, I am absolutely...completely entangled onto myself.

this is…the place to:

project our fears, anguish, suffering onto one another

repeatedly meeting our superfluous, striving selves

I see

repeatedly getting trapped in the idea that this is “keeping it real”,

as real as it can be.

when I meet the idea of lacking...one of us is the giver and one of us is the receiver.

when I feel frustrated, why is this a reminder of my contempt?

where I find the space of aloneness, misunderstood, unheard, and here lies demand.

where I feel the nagging grudge, the stolen time, the weakness, the fear….

the all engrossed…me.

silent

My motives shifted.

...called here to us…we are connected, woven, and wrapped – twisted.

One fabric layered and folded; here is one.

generous with our Us-ness,

"you are me and i am you" our melody does the tapping.

one hand

the body dancing.

committed to our service of unity.

our blessing of “so be it”- bestowed us with “so it was and will ever be”.

individually disappearing into the vast grace of...

forever.

…now you will know relief…
