The Flatland Of Our Lives
The absurdity of truth by consensus;
the blind following the blind,
the jailing of Galileo
for asserting that the Earth moves,
the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde
for loving another man,
the blind adherence to dogma,
hemorrhaging into savagery…
Will you stand with me as
I take flight from Flatland?
Will you follow me
as I pursue the ineffable,
the savoring of the divine I AM,
the recognition that I and We
are the very same,
that the way down
is the way up,
that the darkness
must yield to the light?
These are my hunting grounds.
I appraise the signs
as I stalk the transcendental.
I make note of the seen and the unseen.
Synchronicity is the language of the gods.
And, in recognition of my quest,
the land breathes the air
as if to say thank you.
