What would you do
if you knew there was a light source whose
very nature could illuminate the back
sides of molecules and atoms; as if
the source did not come from its point of origin
but instead-- permeated all-throughout
from all sides at once.. in all directions--
at the same time; simultaneously..
yet also perpetually
..and if so-- where could one hide from the
knowing-ability of light of this nature
that chooses to have "known-ability".
What if
by chance, in life here on earth
we are given the dignity to choose, through
autonomy.. the freedom to hide--
the power to place, even if through illusion;
obstacle,
and create shadow from a light, that knows no shadow.
What if, the nature of love that is also light
chooses through muse, as one of its loving ways,
to pierce through obstacle created
by autonomy's oftentimes, need to hide-
What if.
Wouldn't that then be an act of kindness..
and also a beautiful act of honor towards autonomy
to not force its way in through power
but instead.. coax, through heart-persuasion?
..And that much more a gift muse would be
if one were to know that at the end of life
would be the complete and full removal of obstacle
in order to know
and be fully known?
Without loving acts such as muse
what would be "knowable" within us
if obstacle were never penetrated,
here
in the land of the living?
What if.
