hold the vision
and let it disintegrate
focus the energy
and let the tension release
it’s already happening
beyond the narrow gaze
the thought that forgets itself
release the weight
of needing to do everything yourself
you find the water
you need not carry it alone
a line of hands awaits
effort is precious
and burns itself out.
only a drop is needed
let it grow
give it away freely
the ancient tree speaks:
“I have lived a thousand years
grown a million branches
cast a billion seeds
my body is a multitude
algae, bacteria, fungi
working alone together
merging and diversifying
across ancestral time
the earth is alive
every root dances the soil
the forest is intimately intertwined
every part does itself, flawlessly
what is left for me to be?
I am a thought
and the dreaming fluid crystallizes
self-organizing fractal
look upon me and realize
my magnificence is made of subtlety.”
true power knows
how little is needed
and how much how little is.
less is more
and next to nothing
is everything.
trust the unfolding
and make it easy.
