Living in Matter As Energy

The world

is not made

of isolated objects.

Pushing matter

into the right arrangement

will never make you happy,

healthy, wealthy and wise.

Adjusting your thoughts,

words, actions, relationships and surroundings

won't reveal the magic constellation

that solves all problems.

Analyze, strategize and implement

all you want.

There's always some flaw,

some unaccounted for defect,

some unexpected side effect.

Trying harder,

thinking smarter,

loving more,

never finds

that perfect pattern.

The world

is not a collection

of isolated objects.

It's a unified ocean

of energy waves

constantly moving.

Attempting to freeze

the roiling sea

is doomed to failure.

Instead,

see yourself

and the world

as a fluid energy.

Ride the already moving waves

of this situation

into the next

and the next.

Dance

with the shifting forces

flowing

through the one body

of life.

Swim in the never final

always fresh ocean

of ever unfolding wonder

of living

in matter

as energy.
