reconnection

like Icarus choking on his wing’s wax Phoenix too laden with ashes to rise Sisyphus stoned by rock bottom an Angel suffocating on its halo the witch seeks to be a Fairy Queen assembles the mirror of Self and seeks solace in prayer and meditation one cannot give what has not been received Janus will have to gather a third face for the present looking backward and forward does not suffice to overcome the deluded nature of an illusion the only permanent matter is impermanence either one honestly grasps nascent reality or corporeality strangles immanent awakening the Buddha can transcend without fig tree or rice bowl not every robe has to shine in bright orange and yet a rainbow needs sunshine as well as dark clouds tantra means woven together and providence patchwork for the mosaic and tapestry of life no more threadbare rags nor shards of broken magic in wonder and marvel lie imagination and miracles wisdom is knowing what can and cannot be changed humility and serenity require arduous work to achieve some degree of spiritual connection
