Single Flames

Single Flames must Shine Bright

The absurdity of reality begets the unusual. As much as we’d like to hold on to our illusions, they evaporate with the changing of the season. Random variables happen across our path attracted by the unfinished business of the subconscious. This can manifest in a myriad of ways. It draws in both the good and the bad…that is until it all becomes pure experience. It isn’t about trying to superimpose upon what is, it is accepting what is and joining your voice to the chorus.

It is sorrowful to isolate yourself and judge against the inevitable. People have to learn through their mistakes. They try on many masks and dance the dance of seven veils. All the while the heart aches to be together, throbbing on the most basic level of love. The world is meant to be difficult and the trials give us strength. Loss helps us appreciate and friendship makes us whole. Things don’t have to be perfect. An understanding that we are in the same boat often helps.

Being coaxed out, we should turn in. The freedom we seek is detachment from the chaos. Contradictions, hypocrisy, and denial are presented as normal and the resulting insanity is treated with meds. Anything goes and culture is reduced to the lowest common denominator. Single flames must shine bright to illuminate the potential. There are many counter-streams to this subterfuge. One Will can turn the tide for the whole planet. Begin again and again.
