There is a place where what we think we’ve lost
Is right here with us all along
Never not within our reach
Out of view but never gone
It’s a place that’s called Reality
It isn’t hard to find
All you need to do is reimagine you
And accept that time is not a line
It’s not even a circle
More precisely it’s like a sphere
Expanding all around you
So that any now is always here
With your focus on a center
Life moves in and out like breath
On the inhale you touch eternal life
While the exhale feels like death
But of course that is illusion
The in and out are wholly one
Try to divide them into two
And what you wind up with is none
But that is just a moment
In an infinitude of more
As soon as one ends another begins
That’s why no one’s keeping score
Now some would see this as their freedom
“I will do what I want to do.”
“No loss must mean no consequence.”
But actually it isn’t true
Despite the fact that all is here
And that time lasts longer than forever
There is a flow to how it goes
Which keeps it all together
There’s a pushing and a pulling
That manifests in waves
That creates alignments with likes and likes
Creating masters bound to slaves
Some people call it karma
I call it reaping what we sow
God probably calls it “It is what it is.”
But it’s a mystery we cannot know
It maintains itself through veiling
As we approach the truth we feel it shifting
Causing us to look again
Because now it feels like something’s missing
It’s not trying to be evasive
Even though that’s how it seems
Truth’s just trying to keep us moving
So it can pull us from the dream
There is really nothing to lose
This is the one thing we can gain
To wake us up from the fear of loss
Out of which we make up pain
