Community, a quest for oneness.
It burns as a passion
deep in a place only my soul understands.
A yearning, a quest, a pursuit of connection.
It seems as I look out there into my world
There is no shortage of opportunity here.
To reach, to touch another, to connect in heart…
I tell myself that I am connected to all things.
That you and I are one
and no separation exists
except in my imagination.
My imagination is pretty powerful
This I admit to be true.
Sometimes in the sea of bodies
I feel alone and lonely too.
I recoil from the connections
and resist to join the flow
of ever moving bodies
for fear of where they may go.
Thanks for sharing this. I get the fear. I get the loneliness felt in the crowd. I get the passion for connection. And all this with the “understanding” that we are all connected to everyone and everything, that we are already one.
I share this with you.
So where might that flow of moving bodies go?
I’m afraid they are all going to the Varsity.
