Fool Riddle
You Will Know
and will start something
this New Year which we can all understand:
FOOD. It fills us
now tell me, tell me,
Why Then Are We So Empty?
Are you filled with rapture? Are you receiving enough
recognition
Are you getting enough attention?
(Most of us are starved for a sense of appreciation.)
To be noticed...
By others, to recognize ourselves, to be acknowledged
By society, in the work place, by our families --
Why even to be acknowledged by GREAT SPIRIT --
...
We first have to be filled
...With a sense of purpose,
A contribution, something to receive support for, things quite NOTABLE
And In Truth, QUITE KNOWING.
We have to be -
We hope to be -
We wish to be -
Filled with -
Distinguishable abilities, with recognizable energies...
...For which we are valued, for which we are treasured,
For which we are known.
Hey, are you re-known, renown, renowned? Or Simply OWNED!
-- Knowledge is a sap, an inner nectar --
We're hired for what we do, and the irony is, we make a most indelible impact
By Ways In Which We Belong.
don't get sappy, it's only nectar
it's only meaning, sweetness,
the Maple Syrup of Hours
What is your longing? Your belonging?
and ARE YOU FULL ? C'mere, sweetheart,
R you CONTENT?
( R U Blue? Ah, there's the RUB ! )
So we hunger for food,
WE Are starved to make ends meet, WEare astonished
That we long to make a difference. Long and short of it is,
That no matter how chaotic & troubled this world,
WE would like to think that we matter. That we contribute.
. . . Yet are we full? Content? Bring on the sweetness!
We've been defined by abilities & ways in which we make our impact.
We've made a pact. Ways we impact others.
Ways through which we create an impact. Will you make a name for yourself?
Ways to impress (and also suppress) ourselves. But first, feed me now!
It's a form of touching god.
Our pacts with others. Our contracts with ourselves.
Our IMPACT in Creation, in this world
...and in that tiny world where we reside, in loneliness...
So Terribly Hungry!
chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing
...To make...
That most lasting impression on others, begin to express what you're aching to say --
don't just grind your teeth, buckwheat.
FIND the nectar, that essence & sweetness of your rapture. Find
Search for the love
To make you full.
A fool's journey to become fulfilled & hopefully awakened.
Dreaming ?
So we find ourselves starved for food, longing for sex,
...Yearning for delicious senses of contentment,
...From knowing we've made a difference,
Knowing that we matter, believing that we're valued...
When the astonishing fulfillment, that most complete & all-containing understanding
Of Being Full
... and of BE - COMING attained.
Arises from awareness of God (the awakened awareness of your expression)
within Creation. No comparison,
that Creativity !
No comparison at all, TO DO THE WORK
And Become Awakened...
...And possibly, in the meantime,within fleeting stomachs,
during longings on vacation in lands of I'M NOT THERE YET,
...Possibly, as GREAT SPIRIT whispers genuinely to you,
You will know
You will believe at last,
That you no longer need to stuff yourself in order to be fool.
Stuffing is no replacement for arrival
to be full
to be a sea gull
to be a see fool
Fly now in-2 awareness
spread and stretch . . .
If it was a question of genius arising from habits,
By now your stomach would be God.
Praise the Great Lord of Digestion and Understanding.
