The Way
now that the election is over, i think it's a good time to express how i felt about the politicians. with social media quick to pound on every single faux pas that was made, and the hound-like mentality of the savvy net users for both camps, i couldn't get any clear messages from either side. i couldn't see nor feel the politicians as they were. i couldn't trust the press. i couldn't trust things that i see on facebook. or rather, i couldn't bring myself to trust anything that i had read. then, after two ponders and an earl grey: it didn't matter, it doesn't matter, and it won't matter - i'm a citizen of earth, and i'll live like water; meander my way to the ocean and live freely as i will. i'm not a starfish, and i don't require being thrown back into the sea. when a tree grows, it runs the risk of being chopped, or struck by lightning. but when you are the wind, you are free!
when you take a stand, you will be at risk. when you set yourself free, you will never be bounded, and you will see why there is no need to take a stand.
We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.
We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.
