Microcosm, Vessel

I

Sometimes what appears to be less than whole is not.

Anything that can be broken can be fixed.

In some ways, what is fixed can be broken; however, what is broken usually contains the microcosm of that which is whole.

Consider a small vessel, carved and ornate. Once cracked, the outer design may change, but the vessel is still a vessel, whether whole or in pieces.

II

Everything that can be broken can be mended.

Wooden, chain link, cement.

It’s here that we find that which keeps things out, also keeps things in.

III

Eventually it will be known that all things broken are being put back together, made whole.

The same is true with heart. 

Ego is a bit different; it lends itself to fragmentation, solitary in its quest and unflinchingly accurate with regard to its vision.  The vision always contains seeds of heart, seeds of whole.

IV

Every seed that is planted may not sprout, but every seed that is planted has the potential.

This is like love, perhaps.

Perhaps not.

Either way, there is still an element of mystery, left to sprout over time.

V

To duplicate that which is broken would be to waste precious energy, gasoline, torque, fuel to fire, fire to fuel.

To duplicate that which is whole would be the ultimate tree.

VI

When birds sing, all is whole, fire, fuel, seeded and seedling, sprouted and sprouting.

When birds sing, often they sing from trees.

VII

Call and response is common among birds, aborigines, dolphins, whales and others. Some mammals, some not.

To duplicate a call is to lure, to falsify, to mirror, to fragment.

To duplicate is not to echo.

VIII

Spirit speaks in a multitude of ways, tongues, eyes, telepathy and others.

To spirit is to be immersed. To duplicate is to merge.

IV

Everything that merges does not separate.

Everything that intersects does not echo.

Everything that has a point may not contain language.

Everything that is experiment is noise.

Everything that is a signal can be illusion.

Everything that is ego can be a mechanism.

Everything that is mind can be of steam.

Everything that moves from one pocket to another may not be invisible.

Everything that is heart can be from the infinite.

1+0 = 1

All that duplicates must eventually become a vessel.

All vessels are built to hold spirit.

Echo, heart, ego, part.

Converge and merge, diverge and splurge.

Echo, heart, ego, part.

Echo, heart, ego, part.

Echo, heart, ego, part.
