7/24/2026 for Disrobing Ego Poetry Contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker
Seeking truth and luminescence to shine upon our vital essence, we might apply our intellect to probe what is it that lies beneath the robe. We must look beneath our outer shell which divides us. It's where troubles dwell, an artifice of our own construction, a false face, a deceptive obstruction. We might use it to cover up our shame, using a costume like we use our name, but when we let our robes fall away, we're all the same and we're all OK. We find that in our heart and soul, we're part of a universal whole.
