As the Eye Opens
Updated: Apr 20
As the Eye opens
You and I engaged in the relating affair
The back and forth
The nudge the pull, the non-acceptance
The deep trenches often of disharmony.
Fallen soldiers through discord
Homes broken
Lives wasted and scattered
All due to this relating affair.
Necessary or not,
Suffering is the name of this liaison,
The back and forth
So rolls on the mindless roller.
Differentiating suffering makes it a choice ,
Some suffering is just the natural occurrence of life
The storm coming due the various causes and conditions in the atmosphere
Then, the mindless storm created by the me and you affair.
By i not wanting to see and you mirroring my state.
Locked in a non-acceptance to keep the fire of suffering ablaze.
The old blame game being relit.
As the eye opens, choice to suffer or not to suffer is how it is to be.
The I-making is a role play, gentler in each passing day.
The definition of I less and less bounded in contours of fixity.
A learning occurs of what is how it is meant to be.
This is the acceptance of the suffering that dust will always be on the furniture, tornadoes will happen and the body will wither.
And then,
Light is cast on what is self made suffering,
A learning for each to explore,
The more the eye sees the more unity of life blossoms through in and around us.
