Reflections on Modern Societies
What have I created?
Deadlines: artificial, imperative, revered
Success: wealth, power, control
Strength: rock, focused, individual
Pleasure: mindless, meaningless, indulgent
Miss the deadline? shame, outcast, failure
Success: removed
Strength: shattered
Pleasure: none
How can I help?
Cross that dead line with head held up high.
There’s life on the other side.
It will look and feel different from what you just left,
but there is love that just will not hide.
There’s love from our senses - taste, touch, and smell.
There’s love from our sight and our sound.
There’s love born from passions, from what we create,
and there’s love from the joys that abound.
Feeling alive is the connection of love we receive
from Earth, other life, and ourselves;
with it we open a truth of existence -
a Oneness with Creation - our True Selves
