reading the label of the jar

my mind travels back and forth
between future and past
how it will feel when all this is gone
when i am disassociated
from my sense of self

an overwhelming amount of discomfort
as i imagine all of what i know
disappear, along with the spirit
that can be aware of it all

a flip of the coin
reveals an urge to explore
to ease this uncertainty
seeing all the crevices of this earth
to be able to one day
be one with it all
to accept the nature of death

And passively observing things that are not apparently within our control. If we observe life flexibly, knowing the cause and effect of the general idea of things. Everything will lose serious meaning. A fight with your friend. But both of you are aware that this anger stems from irrational self protection or lack of ability to accept an alternative option. This level of self-awareness will allow us to not only forgive ourselves for the things that we experience but be able to consciously alter our responses to things. Our world is so distracted in the surviving part. Just passing by. Just paying the rent. Just finding work. Even things that appear to be free are not. Passion is masked by want to succeed. Authenticity masked by the people we are meant to be. Ambition is thought to be admirable in western culture, why? Selflessness is thought to be ...
