break away
We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
π
-Kurt Vonnegut
how little I understand
about life
how small is my vision
how tiny my wings
my experience negligible
my brain so under developed
my travels so limited
even as I attempt to smash the box of my learning
as I fight to open to all good things
as the mystery,
the dream,
gets bigger
my desire to see,
touch,
taste,
handle,
hear,
experience
burns me to the ground
carries me to the sky
fills me with longing
empties me of myself
allows me to be a part of the whole miracle producing she-bang
calls me to be courageous-
a brilliant dancer, even
in spite of my fear,
my limiting inheritance
my illusion of having two left feet
stop thinking so much
just be
just dance
just fly

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
