You can only swallow so much
And then you start choking
In the Navaho Creation Story Changing Woman speaks to her consort the Sun:
“Remember, as different as we are, you and I, we are of one spirit. As dissimilar as we are, you and I, we are of equal worth. As unlike as you and I are, there must always be solidarity between the two of us. Unlike each other as you and I are, there can be no harmony in the universe as long as there is no harmony between us” (Zolbrod,1984, p. 275).
I would love you even if we had nothing
He said
Liquidifying my mind into a melted hum
What that really means
Is we could survive off of love
Validating in that very instant what I’d been scared of all along
Love is real
Realer than power
Or what we have
Or what we see
Or what we do
Or what we believe
Or how we conjure
Or how we conceive
Everything as it’s own entity
What’s true is how it’s strung together
How the woven pieces create a tapestry
Together melding into an ever deepened independence
As the mind smooths it’s edges
By a loving presence
Union begins to emerge
No more duals
No more daggers
No more hateful rageful moments
Creating ever more complex structured maneuvers for love to wrap itself around and transform into what have you
Creativity is what emerges
Through each of these experiences
They way we translate it
Is the process of maintaining it
Understanding the act
Finding the good graces
Of arms awaiting in epic embracing
Attainment of nothing that’s tangible
Nothing of ‘worth’
Nothing money can buy
And even better
Nothing that can be codified or manipulated or rehearsed
Presently unfolding
Improvised play
We are all just experiencing our reality all damn day
Experience to its fullest
Express to the root
Go deep and make waves
For what else have I got to loose
Nestle into the ride
Snuggle with the seas
Make love to the ephemeral transitions
And link together every node of being
Dive into Dreamtime
Play in lucid waking
Meld together the seen
And unseen as one true understanding
Neither more important
Neither going head to head
A simple compilation
Contemplation
Of what’s ahead
Together we walk
Together we roam
Together we go
Together
From the roots
We gather together
We gather together
We play
