On Possibilities and Liquid Ground
I would like you to know that everyday, you are given the chance to choose lucidity over illusion; gratitude over greed; truth over lies. Everyday, clarity breathes so closely into your face, waiting for your closed eyes to awaken. You can turn away from the useless form of things you grew accustomed to. You can walk away from all these at any moment. . And yet you don’t, no matter how the shape stifles you.
The space, for you, remains infinite.
Why are you still here?
The core of the Earth burns everyday for your awakening.
May you tremble in uncertainty, so that you will seek the centre. May you sense the tectonic movements of continents and thoughts. May the Earth gape open its mouth and devour us all, that we may be cleansed and purified, sanitized and red with truth. So that after we succumb into its belly of fire, the Earth shall spit us out, back into our present bodies, glowing diamond dust on our invisible wings. And our eyes will be aflame, and pure, and young; crystallized, prismal, and open— as when we first entered this realm; as when we first breathed the air and knew it; as when we first looked at the sun, and understood it.
