Why am I punished for the sins of another?Was Eve's sin so sinister?
Was it so evil to want knowledge?
Her sin was mistrust.
Mistrusting her maker.
Mistrusting her gut.
Mistrusting the truth.
Truth is so plain that it's hard to see.
You look for complexity,
but the simple truth is beautiful.
Wisdom is denying one's self,
accepting truth - simplicity.
Ignorance blunders and stumbles,
it misses the light while searching dark corners,
it wonders what it all means -
but it means nothing.
Love - that's what it is.
It's not a concept,
it's not what you think,
it's a feeling that flows like a tide,
the wise let go and ride,
sometimes they drown,
but they die happy.
The ignorant live miserable,
one scheme flows into another,
at the end of this effort there's a reward -
or so they believe -
but the simple fact that they fail to perceive?
It's that one must only stand still,
open themselves to the gifts they are given,
and take them and pass them along to the next,
then they find their place in the pattern,
the pattern that is simply happiness.
Lose yourself and find your way.
