Disconnected

Inspired by Gabor Maté’s The Myth of Normal

Disconnected

Society is disconnected

You are disconnected.

I am disconnected,

And so this ill fated fractal is manifested

Set on  repeat, infinitely replicating until reality and reasoning becomes obscured and unrecognizable and chaos and confusion become our bed partners.

Our new normal sneers at us , it’s seductive prose penetrating into our consciousness, keeping us prisoners in its hypnotizing trap.

We foolishly create our walls of illusionary solutions, of pleasures , all the while crying out for songs of restitution and salvation , and Love. These songs bounce of these walls we have built, falling into the void, disappearing.

We all know something is not natural about this reality. We all know we are weak in our separation, stronger united, yet we play right into a paradigm, a theme of reality that keeps us disconnected, lost and confused.

We  bloody our hands, smashing down the wrong doors. Our feet are swollen and bleeding as we continue down the path to our oppression and ultimate tragic end. We run past all the sign posts offering our salvation, we grab and hold fast to false idols and seductive pleasures that offer empty promises and an ease in our confusion and suffering.

It is this fractal we have on repeat, continuing to pass down to generation after generation.

I offer it would only take the simplest of approaches to rectify this separation of self and the Whole of humanity. Quiet the mind, open oneself to wisdom offered by nature and by our ancestors. Let our bodies and minds be fodder for our restored faith. Let our religion be all our voices harmonizing in unison to nature’s  frequency. Let us become humble , like the moon to the sun and the sun to the moon. Let us be renewed, reborn like a baby upon its arrival into this world, innocent and open to experience. Let us break down our differences , choosing to see our individual uniqueness as a drop of rain landing in the ocean. Let us come together as oceans , riding natures waves,

Holding steadfast

To this path chosen and trust our own resilience and Nature’s wisdom to guide us.
