STOPPING

If you distance yourself only for an hour from your endless thoughts 
           - what do you think will happen? 

If you let yourself sink just like a fish into the ocean of love 
          - what do you think will happen? 

You are merely a piece of straw, and we are that eternal amber if you leap forth from your lowly house to fuse with the amber 
         - what do you think will happen? 

A hundred times you've promised yourself to depart from self-claim to be humble as earth - only for once if you keep your word
            - what do you think will happen? 

You're a precious diamond sunken in the mud if you wash away all that impurity from your gorgeous face 
         - what do you think will happen? 

If you abandon for a little while your efforting and tear down your shield, rise with a quest to unite with the whole
         - what do you think will happen?

Happy Christmas/holidays/life from your fishy, mostly absent, erstwhile Blipchum.  Sinking fast.
