Join me into the Wild of Oneself

join me here

in the deepest wild place

where there is no government

no higher or lower classes

no higher or lower species

where we are interwoven

with all that is

here

within the infinite scope

of oneself

where one sees

that measurement can’t

touch this presence

we can discover

something way beyond

what our culture

says we are

we can drop all pretense

we can drop our costume

and take off our masks

and let our wildness rip open the

caged walls of our enculturated minds

we can

let loose

right here

right now

no matter where we stand

here we see

that nobody should make less than anyone else

that all of us have a right to life

to food, shelter, clothing

we would see that

our culture and government

whose sole purpose

is for profit for a few

and the oppression of many

is a deeply insecure and psychologically

powerless culture

we would see that

all the riches in the world

all the materialistic things

is nothing compared

to the beauty and richness of the earth

that when we

let go into the wild

we are home

and the whole universe is

within oneself

stop

following a culture’s creed

when that culture

demonizes with hate

creates racism, sexism, and

destroyed the world

in order to live

creates genocides and wars

and imprisons humans and animals

for their own greeds and fears

stop

and wake up

we don’t have to live this way

we are free inside

nobody can take that away from us

wake up

and find the wild

the wild butterfly that is already

within all of us

wake up

and break free of this unjust

violent cultural identity

join me in the wild

and let's bring back

health and goodness

sustainability and connection

wellness and community

where power is distributed equally

and in this presence

we see with such clarity

a clarity that is not based on time

that who we are

is

united not divided

no matter who one is

  • for we can’t escape the truth

that we are all interconnected with the Universe

that we are not separate

and that hate and violence

come from a taught belief that one is separate

a belief that creates a fragmented, divisive way of thinking

this is not who we are

and even in ignorance

one is still

underneath these thoughts

like the ocean below the waves

is eternally wild and free

and imbued in complete

wholeness
