I’ve been thinking a lot about self-honesty lately. I’ve had more than a few hiccups in my life recently and somehow, I seem to be okay with it all. That doesn’t mean there aren’t heavy moments or difficulty or struggle… but it’s alright.
I’ve found so much peace and just letting my creativity flow. Here is one such flow.

What Do You Know?
You don’t really know yourself. None of us do….
How could we?
We are not individuals.
We are not a simple narrative of birth to death.
There is no line that we walk,
even if we consider the m~e~a~n~d~e~r~I~n~g~ paths that hold our
[Traces…]
We Walk…………… Forward

We die many times in a single life.
Have you ever tried to count your deaths in this cycle?
Bardo is forever.
Because
We are a profound amalgamation
of the connections,
the environments,
the knowledge,
the experiences,
we have encountered.
It is not possible to untangle yourself so completely that you can measure the shape and structure of
who
you
are.
Yet, we must try.
There is no more noble a pursuit then to
Examine yourself with honesty and intimacy.
Love
The
Fact
Finding
Mission Within
And you will find the whole universe mirrored.
Do not try to grasp at concepts
You are water,
Ever flowing,
Ever Changing
A closed fist can never hold water for long
Know thyself?
No!
There is no end to self-knowledge
So BE in a relationship with yourself
Dance with the Depths, The Shadows,
The Desires, The Light,
And move to the rhythm of laughter.
Tenderness dear one…
Always Tenderness
Because self-honesty…
Though necessary…
Tangles with turmoil
And Temper Tantrums
But Persist in your pursuit
For we need a true communion of the heart
