it unlocks many cool features!
- I reject the chosen blindness of masses;
- They view the shining night sky in longing,
- Yet do not handle the fallen leaf with amazement.
- The selective deafness I also dismiss;
- I shall hear both the gaggle of loquacious birds,
- And as well the every mundane drop of rain on the ground.
- And every smooth shard of flint,
- And every broken piece of bark,
- And every fruit past its ripeness,
- I will caress in likeness to a mother caressing her child.
- βTis easy to behold a redwood tree, so tall that it could shake hands with God,
- But the roots of the giant, twisted and turned in a permanent state of waltz,
- Intertwined with the bedrock of the Earth, reaching down into an entrancing infinity,
- Their magnificence is often cast aside in minds,
- Destined to be slightened by the less perceptive.
- All objects of this universe, in their own constructions, are keys to the Gates,
- The lock must only possibly be defeated by a state of mind.
- In my own nucleus I discover the aspirations of existence,
- And thus I discover the aspirations of existence in everything.
- Let the preconceived notions we taint our eyeballs with dissipate!
- The songbird can sing but as does the vulture,
- Possessing a beauty in the peculiarity of its ,
- Too esoteric for those who cannot open their minds.
- There is celestial bloom in more than the stars,
- There is ethereal refinement in more than the moon,
- There is haunting mystery in more than the comets,
- I do not look far for exquisite beauty;
- I neednβt look further than my arms can extend!
- I have realized this beauty manifests itself in my own being,
- Inherently embodied in my humanity and individuality,
- And I have realized the need to utilize this beauty.
- The proclamations of my mind triumph over the voice of others,
- For I recognize my value in the equilibrium of living things,
- And do not punish myself by muting the music of my mind,
- Or forgetting my genius and relegating it for the material.
- My soul is eternally inseparable from me,
- So it must be embraced and known well,
- For there is an excellence within it as there is an excellence within all.
- The self must be admired in the same fashion as the ocean,
- Which must be admired in the same fashion as the puddle as well,
- Else a life will never be idyllic.
