Where is violence?
Violence does
not exist
outside this package of Me
Peace does not
exist
outside
me
If violence did
not exist in me...
it could not exist in the world
If peace does
not exist in me...
it cannot exist in the world
Violence is
The heat in my body
The thoughts in my head
The knots in my stomach
The pounding of my heart
All of which I label as
my experience
This labelling is not
consciously done
It happens so
quickly that it
Snatches
away my choice and controls
My body
my actions
and becomes
my expression in the world.
It becomes what
people see
It becomes what I do
It becomes what
I try to hide
The fist through the wall
The yelling
The tears
The insistence
that it is your fault
I feel the way I do
It takes me over
And leaves you feeling assaulted
Flattened
Fearful to
approach me
Violence is
The heat in my body
The thoughts in my head
The knots in my stomach
The pounding of my heart
NOW I SEE
NOW
I SEE
NOW
I SEE
I can no longer
look to you to be my
Peace
Peaces exists only within the framework of my body
Violence exists only within the framework of my body
I need to start
with this amalgam of
Experiences I call ME
And watch them
rise and try to
Take me over
Watch them with
compassion
As the cycle of
Blind reaction
Creates my suffering
And extends to the suffering of
the world
Stay in my body
Stay
anchored
My sensations
Allow the
reaction watch with love
It is just cells, neurons and story
GET IT!
Cells Neurons Story
Cells Neurons Story
Cells Neurons Story
Where do they all exist?
Within this body / mind phenonmen
They only result
in action when they
Take me over. Or when I choose.
Cells Neurons Story
Cells Neurons Story
Peace does not
exist outside me
Conflict does
not exist outside me
Cells Neurons Story
I am responsible
I am responsible
I am
responsible
Not for all that
I cannot control
But for Cells Neurons and Story
Controlling me
