The Illusive Quest for Meaning

This existence

is not to be hijacked

by a search for meaning.

It is an opportunity for knowing.

There need not be searching

or seeking,

striving or controlling.

Engage the senses.

Unlock the mind.

Move the body.

Come into the knowing.

Of gentleness as strength.

Of vulnerability as power.

Of tenderness as intelligence.

Tap into the council of thoughts and feelings.

Enlist curiosity

as a teacher,

and grace as the doorkeeper.

Flanked by patience and excitement as treasured friends,

need nothing,

lack nothing,

owe nothing,

prove nothing.

Let truth be clouded by nothing.

Nothing needs control.

In a state of knowing,

nothing matters.
