erode the ego
what will you find?
what is the wind, the rain, time?
is it you? is it me?
undoing
to begin
to the essence of what is
what always was
what will become -
transcend individuality
the body, belief- deconstruct
layers of sediment, history
the hard, the tender, the eager
ever-changing, ephemeral
we are the wind, the particle
the form, forever
a hidden unity
within and without the surface
the collective, uncovered
capable of canyons
swift or slowly
creating, destroying, creating
in collaboration with the river, the rain
with joy, with pain
everything -
erode as: to let go, to embrace uninvited change, to break into the most basic form, humbled by uncertainty, vulnerability, exposing, examining, a dynamic collaboration with universal undoing - a beginning.
ego as: entitlement, starving greed, the constructs absent of true wealth or wellbeing, as the ignorance of toxic individualism, the bitterness of never being “enough” - when you are already everything. -
if nothing in stone is set,
where will we land next?
how will we get there?
