The conviction that you are right
is never going to be enough.
There are others around us
each immersed in their own drama.
And there is no 'right',
there is only what is made
by the conjunction of all of our wills.

The more you see, the less you can believe
in anything you say.
The deeper the mysteries spin
the less articulate the one who knows.
The great parade marching 1,000 wide
passes; passing all understanding.
And yet, still, we gaze and question,
still we seek to understand
that which is un-understandable.
And so we pass, cradle to grave, cradle to grave,
serious children made of chance.

Changing, always changing
and I am blessed by it.
I found myself wondering
if the tears that fall so easily now
are actually just bliss pouring through me
as I feel the magic in this life
evermore embracing me
in its flow.
That a deeper mystery is speaking
through my heart as I accept it all
even as my understanding of the physical
recedes away in proportion to how much I know
of the creation around me.
I am feeling something that
the mental me cannot touch.
Something that caresses me
as a lover's hand would.
Something that laughs
at my understandings
and yet loves my sincerity.
Something that whispers to me
that I am mortal
and yet loves me so much
that I do not care.
Belissimo existence,
changing, ever changing
and I am so blessed by it.
