Work in Progress

The Narrator

The Labeler

The Actor

The Judge

The Noticing and Aware

The Feeler-of feelings

The Feeler-of physical pain

The Fantasizer

The Dude Who Finally Remembers

The Falsifier

The Distractor

The Negotiator

The Inspirer

The Analyzer

The Intellectual

The Welcoming

The Numb

The Tensor Contractor

The Expander Relaxer

The Seer

The Listener

The Smeller

The Feeler of the environment

The Feeler of the body

The Taster

The Confident

The Master of Identification with things

The Connector with others

The Dismissing

The Inquisitive

The Controller

The Smiler

The Hater

The Lover

The Grasper

The Let Goer

The Neutral

The Lord of Aversion

The Eager

The Ego

The Proud

The Breather

The Sick

The Healthy

The Now What

 

All tap into the truth

They are not the truth

The truth is not them

 

All express in the body

They are not the body

The body is not them

 

All are in me

They are not me

I am not them

 

Who are these beings?

What does it all mean?

Why does it all happen?

How does it all work?

Where does it all lead?

When does it all come together?

 

I don’t know

The Not Knower

I guess I’m just a work in progress


I wrote this poem at the end of a simple and profound meditative practice on the evening of 9 November 2021. It was a particularly open, welcoming, spacious experience in which all sensory stimuli, feelings, thoughts, and inner experiences were welcome and seen for what they are. I wish this upon every being in existence, past, present, and future, especially those in need of connection.
