STORY

We live in Mutuality:
Embedded in Cycles
Of Creation, Growth
Decay and Death.

Within this widening gyre
Buddhists celebrate a Mind.
Xtians a Body.
Each secure in their Fated Story.

Earthfall:

Jesus, birthed in a barn
Amidst the mire
Of farm animals
In the stench of a stable.

Mindfall:

Siddhatha
A Seeker in the Forest.
Alone. Cerebral.
Seated beneath a Ficus.

We live in Narratives
Of our own making
Entwined in those of others.
Wedded to Story.

Ever Convinced
Of Alternative Iterations
To the Inevitable - Creation
Growth, Decay and Death.
