Chasing Cosmic Butterflies is the title of my poetry collection published in 2015.
The chase begins the moment we enter this world,
and it continues till our last breath.
Toltec wisdom says life is a dream, and
we are all walking mirrors—
Everything we think and feel is reflected back to us
through the great dream mirror of life.
Some dreams are bigger than others, and
our biggest dream is who we think we are,
which contains all our other dreams,
we chase through life.
The chase is born into us, and
so are the cosmic butterflies we chase.
The ego is a giant volcano, spewing millions of cosmic butterflies,
filling our lives and giving us more things to chase, and
making us believe we are getting somewhere, and
that we are becoming somebody.
But it’s all one big dream mirror playing tricks on us—
Making us believe that the cosmic butterflies are real.
Some break out of the dream,
but not without breaking the mirror.
Most continue to chase their cosmic butterflies—
Even the special butterfly that chases away all the other butterflies,
making us believe he is the only real butterfly we need to chase.
The only way out is to break the mirror.
