Things Fall Away...

I was only a boy; I was impressionable; I greatly desired true acceptance which was never fully given to me except for periodic moments, out of time experience. The more I tried, the more I was embarrassed. I'd study the people who I thought could give me this gift. I sang and danced for their amusement; they hated me, laughed at me, they were determined to create the conditions of my everlasting banishment...

...Things fall away when your not even trying. Things fall away so easily that we have to bring them back, remember our suffering. The more we push things away, the more they become our reality. The more we fight them, the more they devour us. Pain is an illusion, created at the first morn of human consciousness. We love our pain. When it begins to fall away, when we stop fighting it, we are frightened. We fear the nakedness of our banal understanding; we fear the exigency to be nothing. humiliation incarnate.vulnerability incarnate.creativity incarnate.
