To cross the great water of frozen
perception is the great adventure
of our epoch.
Learning to love is the great path
of all earthlings, bound to
this world of disturbance and light.
Stepping out of the constructs
created by others to be
less than, more than, even equal.

Stepping out of the constructs
created by others to be
less than, more than, even equal.
We have been underestimated.
You can feel it in your heart.
We shape ourselves.
We are no longer caught in the net
of shiny things or
rusty ideas of power.
We shape ourselves,
again and again
tasting freedom and radiance.
