Lovedust
“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
You are nothing but a collection of atoms
brought together only temporarily by fate;
A continuum of mental episodes,
destined to forget their past,
to rise and to fade.
But it is a beautiful collection,
one all the more beautiful for
the uniqueness of its arrangements;
It is a wonderful continuum,
one all the more wonderful as
each moment passes,
gone in a blink —
tracing, as they go, trajectories
influencing,
interfacing,
intersecting with others
until it’s impossible to tell
where one stops
and another begins,
bringing with them both
joy and suffering
hope and despair
vibrance and equanimity
on and on forever more beyond infinity.
All of which is to say:
You are not alone —
For you were never one to begin with.
