two strangers lock eyes
amid the dizziness of crowds
nothing but a fleeting glance
sparking instant bliss
if only for that moment
instant bliss

ours is a generation
that is skimming 
this book called life

instead of embracing
each and every word
on each and every page

better to experience 
few things deeply than
many things halfway

the desire for money
robs the present moment
we live a life of “until then”
instead of “right now”

not everything
must have a purpose
life is meant to be experienced
without goals and deadlines
but with wonder and awe

“i don’t know”
we frown upon that statement
when asked what
we want in life

but “i don’t know” is
letting go of your ego
not controlling the outcome
or forcing an answer

in an infinite world
“i don’t know” is more powerful
because it is vastly larger
than “i know”

we travel to find ourselves
we long to discover what we want
we struggle to find a destination in life
this is because we are blind
to the knowledge that
we already have what we want
and can never know who we are
because we just are

when we unlearn
what we’ve been told
life becomes much broader
