Containment

Containment

I used to speak my Truth away,
But now I'm trying to live it:

This ever-shifting Maya
has the meaning
that I give it.

    It's all illusion and game, no? So see the clearest illusion and play the best game :-)

    Dr. J,

    Thanks for the interesting comment. I wrote an essay once, comparing chess and life. Your comment reminded me.

    Still speaking mine away, but someday maybe I'll learn to live it!

    Crabby,

    Me too!

    But for some reason, it occurred to me in recent years that I don't have to say everything to everyone all the time, so I do less of it. Call it by big "DUH" moment.

    Wow I love the ever changing 'Maya'...we are awakening to feeling that what we really are does not change, nor can it be contained , know what I mean... it's like we either percieve only Maya or we are are still in containment enough to feel the other huh? Anyway, love the poem and glad to hear you have been loving up the Spring weather! I have always appreciated when you have shared your heart and truth, feel you in my heart often, words are powerful little beings!
