the paradox of 1

the paradox of 1

all of existence . . .
resides within me.
yet . . .
“i” am but a part of the All

all that i dream is my own
yet . . .
i am a part of the collective

i was but a Seed
“i” am Now a fruit . . .
here !
and “i” am sweet
taste the offering of love . . .
but i as you . . .
have been spawned by the Tree of Life
that stands in the Garden
in the womb of the Mother
and we are 1

i am but a Raindrop
i fall to the Earth
i seek the Puddle
that seeks the Rivulet
that seeks the Brook
that seeks the Stream
that seeks the River
that flows to the Ocean

along our Journey . . .
we have . . .
fed, nourished and touched . . .
Life . . .
we are Life !

we are a collective of One
seeking to “BE” One . . .
with Life
and all it’s goodness
yet . . .
we are Life !
We are
Life’s Goodness . . .
Life’s Fruit . . .
Life’s Nourishment . . .
Life’s Paradox . . .
