A drop is an ocean * 7/20/12

A drop is an ocean

of consciousness.

We are all part of that liquidity.

Given the scale of the universe

and ever expanding,

we are the current compromise

to the understand of it.

Yet we are rendered

to be that hum of occupancy,

that cohesion of sacred

unspeakable apprehension,

that smatter

of indecent blessedness,

that we timelessly go forth

but call it out otherwise,

giving most of us

experiences of years into decades,

and for some,

decades into a century

with millenniums

as reference points.

But we, as in the throws of it,

are not eras into epochs

or epochs into eons,

as oceans

would have come and gone

and then returned,

more fully then before,

unaccounted for ahead of us.

We maybe prized

to be self-conscious

but so far,

dumbly so by its constriction.

For our sense of self

is only by isolative means,

a ceremonious pronouncement

in which we further cosmically delve

into our petulant indecency

of presence.

We laboriously work with

the simple tools of mindfulness,

as it interfaces with matter,

as matter is a subsidy

of engagement,

sort of as breadcrumbs

to give us a heritage of context.

We all have the senses of myopia

and trust in them

to the crudest level,

defiling any sentience

of refinement

with our abject dismissal

to only feature the evident,

the consensual,

the concretization of memorabilia

as foodstuffs of advancement.

We invented time

as a form of mind decency.

We have cultivated

conclusive thought

as if an essential currency

of approval.

We made language

as if we, as marionettes,

are more than amusing.

And then we became audience

as experience became

a popularized medium of choice.

We are woefully labored

as a consciousness of observation,

as always in the parking garage

but with new models to test drive,

immediately at hand,

that will philosophically only get us

from here to there

and yet never to question,

beyond the beyond.

We are a snobbery

of mind-tourists

casts into our ocean liners

of conventional wisdom

as if only by complete failure

of means

will we be allowed

to drown ourselves

back into the heartfelt ocean

of consciousness

from which

our original

and essential essence

of oneness is means . . .
