Where is it?


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
