Beside Myself

I'm standing beside myself

and staring

up a long, cold concrete stair,

walking beside myself,

doubly visioned,

doubly

unaware --

me

momentarily divided in two

by the tilt of the earth

by the pull of the moon.

My other self,

my darker self,

the self I like to hide

for a moment illumines,

its unbearable brightness

filling my mind

lighting the truths 

about me

about life.

These are

the truths that I hide

because they're so large,

no one could bear

to stare

at them daily.

But when I'm beside myself,

when I'm split in two,

I see what lies hidden,

and I see

what hides it, too,

unbearably.

You too.

( williams )

Have no fears.

Even in this weight of stark

self division, we are turning
back towards coherence;

 even as we are moving

into the darker days,

each imperceptibly longer,

the sun is moving too,

planning its return --

Prepare yourself

for that time, when

we can be whole, and gaze
at the beauty of earth again, 

and revel

in the gifts that it gives.

This solstice,

this Christmas,

give the gifts of a child -

of peace and love,

and wide-eyed honesty, so

the next time your self divides

you are happy

with what you see.

Two Parts (a channelling)

(well, about a week ago,

or less,

Makropoulos said she was done

with channelling,

and crazy convoluted entries.

Well, she lied.)

( noaa )

The sun and the material world (earth, moon, etc.)

are two parts of a whole

                  a hole whole

two parts have we

                       a yes and a no

two parts, equally:

the burning and the devouring,

the exploding and the imploding

the male and the female

are two parts of a whole,

                    a hole whole.

like

The sun and the material world.

( aerospaceguide )

The sun that we see

is the shimmering burning edges

of immortality;

it is the tearing tearing exit from

the void 

out of which we were produced;

the sun is the last thing

we saw when we

aborted, when we were propelled forth

from the womb of the

eternal,

when the 

whole

produced a hole

in which we were born --

we, being the substantial essence

of the whole that is both nothing

and all.

The sun and the material world

(earth, moon, etc.)

are two parts of a whole

a hole whole,

two parts have we

a yes and a no:

two parts, equally.
