Honest Expression

Honest expression is not only an important building block of connections, it is also an antidote to happiness becoming a concept. So let me share this poem with you today.

____________________
So many questions,
So many good parts of so many bad answers.
Dizzying, exhilarating, transforming,
Until, until I look around and realize
I spoke to ghosts.
Anybody here? Can anybody hear me?
I am alone in midst of my ghosts.
My room is empty.
Outside my room:
Can anybody hear me?
I am alone in midst of my people.

Must give up, must let go.
Must breath, must live:
Ordinary.

No questions,
No parts.
Quietly I sit.
My mind is empty.
Composedly,
Contemplating the whole.
Good and bad.
Worthy or not.
