What is it that showing me?
What is it that you are showing me?
I saw a scene on the news:
Someone “powerful”
has been disrespectful
to someone in need.
Many emotions came to the surface
for the first time
I didn’t get caught up.
I just watched.
What is it that you are showing me?
I want to go deeper
See behind the story
Can I see myself reflected?
All stories
are fractals
of my own stories
in the end.
I could be
I have been
each of the characters
the victim, the witch, the princess…
Could I also be
the creator or the director?
Not just a lost actor
who doesn’t know he’s acting.
Learning to see from the outside
Reading between the lines
Looking for the lesson
Participating creatively.
