The Trace

Can you see yourself alone, in the company of your being,

beyond windswept lives and unlived dreams,

to a place where you stand unaided and strong,

with the Moon and Sun, Venus and Mercury under your feet?

Can you see yourself imagining life into being?

Can you see yourself as both child and parent,

as offspring of cognition and dreams?

Can you see yourself in the shopping mall as a bull fighter

against the raging minotaur inside of you and others?

It is not in the wide streets of our capitals

that the revolution of change will come,

but in the shopping malls

when consumers can no longer buy their crispy donughts,

or trinkets or lottery tickets,

or cheap knick-knacks, or food, or health or a favourite magazine…

…shopping malls have turned consumers into unknowing guerilla warfare experts

skilled in the art of self-deception and the need for fulfillment from things …

can you see your self calling for your real name to be revealed?

For Birth and Death to show you about Life?

Birth and Death are mere puntuation marks in a long sentence

enabling their readers to savour every word of Life

one word at a time,

there is no birth or death

only life

and life is a language

that all us will come to learn in time

can you see yourself imbuded with Life

no longer confused by birth nor death

two sides of the same window

can you see your Self looking through it

to what is on the other side?

Can you see your self not as others see you

but as your inner self does?

Don’t be in a rush to hurry to find the answer

follow each step and you will find

the trace
