these are understood to be the logical outcomes to internalized trainings of the mind.
i seek, instead, a connection to the mysteries of the world,
a connection to my own hidden mysteries, the illuminating lamp lit on the darkest of nights, the most desperate of situations, stumbling blinded in the windstorm in a desert, and reaching shelter.
the most uncomfortable of situations can bring out the best in humanity, in self.
i see to understand for myself the different shades of sunsets that span the vast continents
and unite us all in a cloak of shared humanity;
to see if the moon looks different from the other side of the earth.
i seek nothing on a journey and everything.
just to be, to bear witness, to sit, to admire, to feel the change along with the days.
understanding that this, too, will fade, just as it has risen;
and the journey will continue.
