Drip, drip, drip
Slowly like a snail
Invisible like a wisp
It comes, step by step
We do not see it

It meanders and skips
It sneaks up on us
It catches us unaware
It hides and pounces
It’s stealthy

Once we notice it
It lights up
When we respond to it
It grows
And grows

It grabs us
It drags us along
It is like a magnet
And more come
They join in

Soon we are dragged along
Soon we are bumping around
Soon we are engulfed in them
Soon we are plunge into the dark
Soon we are feeling fear

We can’t seem to escape
The darkness comes
We are feeling anxious
We are feeling frightened
We have become them

And then we pause
There is a light
It first is faint
Then it’s stronger
The light grows

We feel the light’s energy
We feel it’s strength
We feel it’s love
We know it’s real
We awaken and free ourselves

We become the light
And we realise
That all there was in the dark
Was our mind, it’s fear
We were grabbed by its thoughts

Now we know the light
We can say goodbye
We can let those thoughts
Flutter by
We are free

Get closer

In the end, we are all one, we all have a ball of energy within us, our soul, that lives forever. We all die and be a pile of dust in 50 or 100 years from now, so there is the start. We share that with every person alive.

We could choose to look at what unites us, rather than what divides us. Look to how we can connect and love another not disagree with and hate them.

If we choose to look for the good in others, to accept them as they are, and to move closer to strangers, get closer to those who we think we are different from.

Connect with those who have a different opinion, or like different things. Learn to evaluate without judgement, to simply observe. Of course, this takes being vulnerable, to stepping out of our bubbles, to be prepared to be exposed.

Everything in our lives is of our making and we can choose to get on with fellow humans or not. We make society, we make everything, it’s a collective representation of us and our fellow souls.

Get closer.
