to be
that is all that is asked; seems like a simple instruction for such a tall order to be in the face of desire destruction confusion passion vulnerability these things take a different kind of talent this requires a rawness most do not want to feel; it requires a dedication to authenticity our social constructs have constructed barriers against; we find we have to take sledgehammers to walls that have been built unconsciously admittedly built as a survival instinct in a world that makes love conditional we add to these conditions with our checklists of what we want to achieve and bucketlists of what we want to experience and criteria for who we want to love, thinking that these things will somehow give us a better life we don't see how this restricts real living life becomes effort to achieve some item on all those lists and we actually forget to actually be in the moment with this breath with this beautiful person that stands before us or even as us ever changing There is a lifetime of mystery, wonder, adventure and creation here but this place too often gets passed by for that place that experience that idea that love when will you dive more deeply into this place this moment this idea this love? and trade all of that effort for more of this existence; an acceptance of what is now that is not apathetic but rather insightful inspiring and comes directly from the here from the now and beyond *original poem by Summer Starr, July 2015
