Human malaise

There is no way to live

In this human carcass

With these emotions

And desires

These needs and habits

These hormones and imbalances

And not feel the depths of the experience itself

And not be taken over by it all

I

I say

I feel

I am

I seems to be the grand adventure

Not good

Not bad

Not right

Not wrong

It is the crescendo of all that came before

Interspliced with the cacophony of all that will come next

Meeting in the quiet of the eye of the storm

Called the now

The ever present

How could my heart not soften and bleed

At the wonder of it all

We are all held in that infinite state of pause

Between our past and our future

The pains and joys we have experienced and caused

And those yet to come

Culminating all into this moment of endless nows

Where it all can change

With the most minute shift

-------------

When we go from the singular and narrow framed "I"

Experience

To the all encompassing "All" experience

That some know as God, Spirit, Dharma, Oneness, what have you

When that not so small shift happens

The world will change

It will indeed chang

One person at a time

Ho hum

Life is a series of disappointments

Stuffed between moments of ease and joy

***_***_***_***_***

I suppose the only  to way to avoid this feeling

This reality

Is to hold no expectations whatsoever

And that is a lofty

And most would surmise unattainable goal

Yet

I truly don't believe it is impossible

Merely that it takes looking at life

Much differently than we have been programmed to look at it

And that takes a shift most people find far too daunting a task to undertake

It is one which I ever yearn to achieve
