the most important thing I can tell you
you cannot hear, you shut it out
you dismiss it, because you know better
after all, you have seen all this
you have heard all this
and you have had enough of the bullshit
then, and please understand
bullshit is the only thing you are looking for
I mean, yes, love will save the world
the most important thing is honesty
really, there is no feeling like love at first sight
that feeling of ambient intuition
when you just know that you see the gears at work
how large and small you see things
how well you understand them,
so, just one thing, then, answer this one question
whatever it is that I ask requires nothing specific
so, let's go back to two days ago
to present, where it goes is your willingness
to engage, to undeny, neither accept
or not accept, no adoption, no fostering
no abandoning, just one direction
into the full uncertain feeling that, yes is uncomfortable
so, you, you pick it, what it is
there is something you have come across
that was presented with conviction
and more than anything, this was bullshit
it is ok, knowing bullshit as bullshit
what a superpower, and this bullshit
go ahead, stick a pin in it and take a moment to see that pin
could we make it a red ceramic tipped pin
and then, follow where you stuck it in the wall where this bullshit is written
now, let's deconstruct and take our time carefully
the next ten words that come into your mind
please, write them down, does not matter what they are
with this list, try to take each word, back in time, to where you first met it
who told you, how did you get this word
did you ever do the etymology of this word
maybe get the definition from a dictionary
go ahead, write down these times, how many people you shared it with, how often you use it
look at repeats, what do you repeat
look at what they lead you to search for
for the reasons, take as much time was you need
stop here so the above, come back, seriously
now, the prequel to the question
what if the things written in the past were more precise than the present
what if all these protestations or revelations are somehow more accurate
what if faith is more important than knowledge
what if thinking is the most preventative thing you can do
well, what if the written things were intentionally crafted
intentionally taught to be repeated
and every time they are repeated
they are new, because they have been expounded upon, worked through
and was the intention of the original idea
once written, becomes a prison for the mind
the lenses that make reality what it is
and because you came up with it after all
this understanding is yours
what if everything, everything goddamned thing
every thing, was completely patterned
not one damned thing original except the
original origin
and all of it, was only being played out
a test of your interpretation, your questioning, acceptance
now, just a moment, go to your nearest forest
where there are lots of trees and cover
and what if they could not be trees
no words to describe them
no names of the color, no words for the shapes,
as if you could turn off your mind
feel something and leave words
be silent, make noise, rely on nothing you know
how would this be, could you do it
you cannot hear, you shut it out
you dismiss it, because you know better
after all, you have seen all this
you have heard all this
and you have had enough of the bullshit
