Life is to be experienced, but few people experience it directly. Humans live their lives in a story, one which is constructed through illusionary concepts of the mind. We create an identity and become separate from our experience. All we experience is framed in the story of our identity and therefore our very experience is […]
Love is a dream, it never does wake, Love is the fog, which falls on your face. I feel who you are, you shift always in place, Your features not real, we live in embrace. No me without you, no dream without us, I stay in this love, I’ll never wake up. Without this dream […]
I love people, all people. Humans are such amazing creatures.
