Be!

Be a star
Be a constellation
Be that spark guiding a lost soul through this universe
Be heavenly

Be the earth
Be the stratosphere
Be that source of nourishment for a new born soul
Be motherly

Be dark
Be hidden
Be that bridge to an untapped solidarity
Be golden

Be a slave
Be a fugitive
Be that hammer clouting against these clandestine shackles
Be emancipated

Be the sand
Be the keystone
Be that foundation upon which nations are built
Be indestructible

Be kosher
Be bona fide
Be that veritable source of energy in this secular world
Be veracious

Be. . .

Acquisition

Isn't that what relationships are all about
Find an asset,
Build a business case
Devise a plan based on the asset's complexity
Execute in the hope things work out as planned

Amazingly we deny this process and tend to believe its love
Like any brand new toy
We dote excessively for the first few days
Maintain an intricate sense of attachment in following months
Then slowly we start paying less and less attention

Slowly we start noticing the manufacturing defects
The same defects that were clearly stated in the operational manual upon acquisition
In some situations we try and upgrade certain technicalities
Hoping to salvage whatever goodness is left
before it becomes like the next toy sitting gathering dust or passed on to some new owner

Some of you might relate to this approach when it comes to love
Why then do we feel guilty?
Why then do we promise to love forever?
I sit and watch this cycle repeat itself
and despite our profound knowledge and experience
We remain gullible to the idea of that emotion
An emotion
that only makes sense
when we truly let go.
