Macro Mind Micro Mind

Once upon a time Macro Mind, while retaining its Macroness, fragmented into a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion micro minds, micro minds just like mine, like yours, just like the cat’s, the dog’s, the dolphin’s, the seaweed’s, the hawk’s, the owl’s, the eagle’s, the finch’s, the swallow’s, the sparrow’s, the starling’s, the hummingbird’s, just like the spruce’s, the birch’s, the beech’s, the sequoia’s, the redwood’s, the elm’s, the aspen’s, the juniper’s, just like the slug’s, the snail’s, the roach’s, the ant’s, the fungus’, the mushroom’s, the tardigrade’s, the copepod’s, the phage’s, just like the micro mind of every little life alive.

And how we love our micro minds. After all, it’s the micro mind that makes me me, you you, the cat the cat, the dog the dog, the dolphin the dolphin, the seaweed the seaweed, the hawk the hawk, the owl the owl, the eagle the eagle, the finch the finch, the swallow the swallow, the sparrow the sparrow, the starling the starling, the hummingbird the hummingbird, the spruce the spruce, the birch the birch, the beech the beech, the sequoia the sequoia, the redwood the redwood, the elm the elm, the aspen the aspen, the juniper the juniper, the slug the slug, the snail the snail, the roach the roach, the ant the ant, the fungus the fungus, the mushroom the mushroom, the tardigrade the tardigrade, the copepod the copepod, the phage the phage, after all, it is what makes every little life alive its own unique little alive life.

And we won’t let our micro minds go for anything, no sir, we cling and cling to them, for I like being me and you like being you, the cat likes being the cat, and the dog the dog, the dolphin the dolphin, the seaweed the seaweed, the hawk the hawk, the owl the owl, the eagle the eagle, the finch the finch, the swallow the swallow, the sparrow the sparrow, the starling the starling, the hummingbird the hummingbird, the spruce the spruce, the birch the birch, the beech the beech, the sequoia the sequoia, the redwood the redwood, the elm the elm, the aspen the aspen, the juniper the juniper, the slug the slug, the snail the snail, the roach the roach, the ant the ant, the fungus the fungus, the mushroom the mushroom, the tardigrade the tardigrade, the copepod the copepod, the phage the phage, yes, every little life alive loves its own unique little life.

However, unbeknown to most, suspected by a few, and known by but a handful, rather than no more me, no more you, no more cat, no more dog, no more dolphin, no more seaweed, no more hawk, no more owl, no more eagle, no more finch, no more swallow, no more sparrow, no more starling, no more hummingbird, no more spruce, no more birch, no more beech, no more sequoia, no more redwood, no more elm, no more aspen, no more juniper, no more slug, no more snail, no more roach, no more ant, no more fungus, no more mushroom, no more tardigrade, no more copepod, no more phage, no more every little life alive, letting go of the micro mind blends you back with Macro Mind—and what a glorious place to be.

And what’s even more glorious, from here, now we have only Macro Mind to let go before we’re back home again.
