Letting go of Ego and personhood
reveals a country beyond.
But it is hard to see;
before you make the journey.
These words and logic that we employ,
help us organize and communicate
our perceptions of the world.
But, like a mirror,
they also prevent us from seeing
what is beyond and behind our reflections.
The round stuff of our perceptions
we jam into the square shapes
of our words
regardless of whether
they fit or not.
But there is a country beyond all this.
Existence:
all one,
moving,
inseparable;
except through our illusions.
And just as water finds it way,
all of this spins
around the drain
of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Order arising as a secondary effect
of the dissipation of energy
and we
but brief glimmers of awareness
in the backwash.
