The computation of pieces together and undone,
find sustainable consequence.
This palpable heart—thinking…
Yet, no more or less important than the caterpillar.
Been searching
the beauty in what breaks-apart:
glass, world, stories, images in a kaleidoscope…
Always imagining the dynamics, as a whole, being perfectly suitable.
The focus predominantly on gathering-up,
reassembling what was…
Meanwhile, the fuzzy yellow creature without a spine,
slinks the bark of a tree, and I’m not sure that he thinks,
especially of me.
I ask, is it not the most frightening thing to find
your foundation is quicksand?
Take life—It has infinite possibilities in which to crumble.
I have seen the fragments, rolling frantically like marbles, those lovely,
equivocal streaks of color speeding towards chaos!
As I now pause,
learn to embrace the inevitable impact, allow for the parting of ways;
Fall-apart,
and in-love with the immense offerings presented by the indefinite.
The continuous evolution becoming-one with breaking-to-bits.
Each particle: a new universe,
eye for seeing death as its rightful birth.
Journeying the sum of something—with or without meaning—a part.
(Reflection in a still river questions, “What is tangible?”)
In the beginning is God—
We, the caterpillar and I, you, the sun, a rose…
are in the intentions.
Acceptance—
the peace within pieces.
