When looking at oneself and the world
Through the eye of a needle,
How insignificant life becomes.
The eye of a needle represents
The limitation of the self-image.
In this smallness,
The ego will do anything to feel powerful.
This unreachable desire will bring
Fear, anger, guilt and resentment in its wake,
Interlaced with moments of satisfaction and happiness.
The eye of a needle gives a contour to consciousness.
This definition makes oneself and the world
Approachable, workable and knowable.
And yet…
In every being, there is an innate knowing of a true grandeur.
In every being, there is a fear present to meet this grandeur.
The mind feels safer in the insignificant known.
The Unknown feels too grand to comprehend.
And yet…
This grandeur is always calling!
Falling into It is inevitable.
It is our true Reality.
