"The question is, are you willing to risk relinquishing all that you know -- the entire structure of the belief system that defines and constricts your reality -- for the chance that you may experience the perspective of your expanded itself? Are you willing to acknowledge that "truth," as your experience has shown it to be, may not be the entire picture? Are you willing to consider the possibility that all you may value could, in fact, be worthless in a higher sense? Are you willing to accept that you are, in fact, ready for this journey?"
It's hard to say where I've been lately, as I am still processing. I can leave only clues for now.

real is real regardless
of what you try to say
or say away
real is real relentless
while words distract and dismay
words that change their tune
though the story remains the same
words that fill me quickle
and then are slow to drain
dialogues that dither down reminiscent
of the way it likes to rain
every screen
a smoke screen
oh to dream
just for a moment
the picture
outside the frame

- words from ani, yet the soul of us all

Yes, I think I may continue adding random bits here over time...
