LET'S RAISE OUR HANDS TO THE SKY AND BEND OUR KNEES TO THE GROUND, WE CANNOT HOLD ON, EVERYTHING IS CHANGING

Do you see?

Life is not one dimensional, 

it is not flat. 

There is no straight line, no single layer. 

To build a house is process, 

to grow a tree is a seed buried 

and split apart. 

To change anything 

is one step after another 

in many directions. 

And if we choose not to move—

life will 

move us. 

What I know now, 

I did not know then. 

What I will know,

will be built upon,

woven with,

blended into,

merged beside, 

grown from 

what exists now,

which was born

of yesterday.

Do you see?

This is continual,

everlasting, always 

changing. This

circular, fluid,

this water ascending

and descending,

evaporating, flooding, 

spilling our cups—

this dying,

decomposing,

melding underground,

and transforming,

this rebirthing,

embryo sprouting

new leaves, flowers,

fruit in our mouth.

This is creation,

an evolution.

Mind becoming

body becoming

earth becoming

universe becoming—

Do you see?
