Run

There is nothing left to do but run.

The road is twisted and turned.

Above you is a grey overcast sky,

Around you the sting of snowdrifts burns

Against your open wounds.

No witnesses to hear you.

Having just escaped its jaws,

You can only run.

Truth… I love you.

Truth…  I love you.

Can it be told more eloquently?

The story, the story of our lives…

Moments strung along… a filigree trellis of time.

Who are we?  you… me…

Pain that cuts so deep you cannot weep.

And you can reach it…  heal it…

If only, if only…

-Iliad

Crunchy on the outside

“Sit down, please.”  He offered me a box with two chocolates inside it.

One chocolate was crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.  The second chocolate, rather deceptively, was soft on the outside, but hard on the inside.

“Choose one,” he aid.  “It’s time to end your surface obsessions.  The only way to know is to die, to overcome, to sacrifice, and ultimately to become the very target you seek.   Success is death, fear is life.  Do you understand me?”

“No,” I responded, uncertainly.

He smiled.

I realized at that moment that the greatest act of love was complete self-sacrifice, pure and flawless, in every gesture, without restraint.  Time to die.

Promise

I see you
hear you
Touch you

Sun rays
Wind songs
Cold snow

Who are you?

A dream
Whispers
Memories

Eternal past…

I know you
Beside me
In my hand

A  Promise.

Multiplicity

Sometimes we look through multiple dimensions simultaneously and perceive multifaceted co-existing realities…

Sometimes we can think apathetically, sympathetically, and empathetically all at once, through the shifting prism of perspective.

And any structure can be comprehended at once through its multifarious elevations and sections and circulations.

We cannot continue to dissect in order to comprehend;  nor can we still adhere to our notion of concentric identity; and duality is no longer a viable mode of understanding…

A new paradigm is emergent: oscillating waves of coincidental multiplicity and unity, dynamic moral base founded on fluid fundamentals of vibrant harmony.

Let’s not anthropomorphize the sacred choice of self-sacrifice…
