Adding is knowledge
Releasing is wisdom
A mirror reflects but never sees itself
What appears is just an illusion
Parallel mirrors together will see
An infinity beyond mind’s confusion
Caring for the mirror of relationship
In both darkness and clear light
The dissolution of illusion comes
With no clinging, fight, or fright
If we know to look in, we see
We listen and move towards the thunder
We don’t get hooked by dreams,
Opposition, or selfish blunders
We abandon, relinquish, unhand, and let go
We snip all the strings of our marionette show
Revealing an infinite kaleidoscope view
When the you as you know you is hopeless and through
May your “I” die right now, into One, from time’s two
Say goodbye and be done, there’s no ‘how’ to undo
Leap to the stars in one giant stride
Drawn to the nearest far quiet side
Instead of adding information
To ambition that’s never complete
That you guard in a crumbling tower
With avarice for power heavy with conceit
Empty each breath every second
Of all arrogance, pride, and deceit
Make space for an upwelling of wisdom
One cup swelling and then some
Isolation from grace is perception’s mistake
Compassion is where we all come from
An unbounded mountain of beneficence
An inexhaustible fountain of intelligence
Suspending all limiting preferences
Revealing unfathomable concurrences
Coherence and kindness flow in waves of love
Unimaginably blessed, cared for, and loved
Uncover your transparent omniscience
Rediscover your inherent percipience
Acquiring more will update mind’s prism
But crowd your dreams with misused knowledge
Releasing it all makes space for true wisdom
That finds meaning in embracing all wonder and love
– Colin Farish
