I am but one grain

  Threads of understanding nowThe red line goes within my bodyBlood carries hormonal messagesLike the ocean in surge and withdrawalThe sands are defencelessTo the crashing tide aboveClawing in its undulating movementAgainst single grains that cannot hold it.I am but one grainHow can I hold fast against such tide?I finally let go and let the fingersTake me where they will.

Beautiful letting go….

Beautiful letting go.... L'chaim! ~A "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach
