Meditation 7

asking someone what happened
that lead to their "realization"
is akin to asking a caterpillar
what happened that lead it
to spin a silky cocoon

it happens just as
a butterfly happens
to emerge from the solitude
of something that's no longer there

how do we see an evolution happening
when one can't separate the movement
from the one that moves?

That desire to know,
To build the system,
To make the plan…

A bleeding wall,
For the head to strike against.

That is what the self seeks.

To feel its weight,
Its center in this universe,
Is more important than truth.
