#bravery

And to die is to know

And oh, man

We’re all dying to know

That immeasurable distance

Between soul and ego

As if we know where we come from, but must wonder where we go and the symphony that plays for most is a frequency too low…

Let the dissonance we used to map our ambivalence between the bliss of ignorance and all this goddamn dying to know…

Just to live and let go

Be harmonized with both the science and the magic that create a rainbow

The child-like wonder and the perennial wisdom

That balance on the beam of the sun in perfect rhythm

So that our hearts pound

To the vibrations in the ground

And our souls radiate beyond the capsules which they’re bound

And Oh, man….

The end curiosity is one I’ve never found, but I don’t care

I’ll still sit in my garden breathing in the air

Plucking pedals off all the forget-me-nots

When they become weary

Asking impossible, intangible questions

Laughing while my eyes are teary

And seeing beauty

Just because you are soft doesn't mean you are not a force. Honey and wildfire are both the colour gold.
