The Stuff That Mixes

By johntaiyu


One of the things that happens
when you begin to wake up
and come to
is that you start to understand
that there is an interconnectedness
between yourself
and everyone else
such that the space between them and you
dissappears,
and the you that you thought you were
spreads out, and the they
you thought they were
creep in
and the stuff mixes
in the middle
until such time
as you can't make any more
sense out of what was what and who was who,
so you say fuck it
and get on with life,
only now
there's just that much more compassion
oozing out
in service
to the realization
that they is you
and you aren't at all.
