All
Is Light
A Storm Before the Calm:
Thinking back, I remember
the idea of seeing myself standing atop a tall
lonely hill,
watching as the sun set on the blissful ignorance
of childlike understanding.
From a young age it seemed
clear to me that there was a certain unforgiving
harshness to
life, the negative, the fear that seems to
strike with and without rhyme or reason. Perhaps
you know what Iím talking about? Perhaps
you donít? In any event such is life
in this relative physical environment; and
in this life lies the matter of perception.
The child and the confusion
of being:
I remember waking up to
a barren wasteland devoid of comfort and joy.
I remember a constant
state of nothingness, ugliness and tyranny
weighing heavily upon me. Trapped in a solitary
cell, I was controlled by the confusion of
negativity and concepts of separation between
myself, my environment, my reality.
The child and the evolution of the young man:
These were condemned waters,
a dark time. A child trapped inside a seemingly
one dimensional
cell, writhing frantically within its confines,
bent on creating or finding a door for himself,
if only he tried hard enough.
The struggle grew from day
to day, week to week, month to month, year
to year, the agony
of it all. ìIs there no good end in
sight?î I cried. ìThis ceaseless
ocean of anger and confusion is no place for
anyone! The fabric of my being is breaking
up under the weight of these ugly waves, and
I will surely drown in these waters. I am lost,
and I loathe this wretched existence. Is there
no place for me?
Create A Place For Yourself
An End and A New Beginning:
Struggling against a swift
and deadly current, I was pulled under more
than once. The dark
swirling terror seemed to give way to little
light and little mercy, so that I might rise
for another breath. I raged, but not for long.
I felt myself cease struggling; I was being
taken. My sight and hearing were first to go.
Then, drifting in darkness, I went numb, oblivious
to my actions and my surroundings. I was swallowed
whole by the utter emptiness of the nothingness
of being.
A Remembrance Of Self, Creation
And Re-Creation:
How long did I drift in
this abyss? A thousand years, a thousand seconds?
What had I done
to deserve this? What had I not done to avoid
this?
The Positive And Negative
Created and Perceived By The Mind Is Of The
Same Energy:
Time has left me crippled
by this sudden logic, the gift of this newly
found critical thought. ìI
must find a place for myself... to heal these
wounds, to think in peace, to bridge the rifts
existing. To create and re-create who I wish
myself to be.
Change, the stories of
the eyes many, time the relative and beyond:
There came a sudden calm,
a remembrance of a familiar but long forgotten
warmth cast
its light through my dark world...a forever
dawn.
All is the light, every
person place and thing. All is energy, the
positive and
the negative
are not separate
but are bound to have a relative physical
environment exist as it does and beyond,
if all is one
energy then things are not only in relation
to each other but are
One energy
love and its opposite are
what we are, for nothing is separate, all is
a matter
of energy
configuration, a matter of creation,
a matter of choice.
All is the light
understanding this is a matter of
remembrance, observation, sight
through critical
thought, and experience.
