In light of the current environment, reposting a poem from a few years back. To wake up you have to stop telling all the stories. Not only do you have to stop telling the false stories about how you’re not good enough and how you’re not worthy, you also have to stop telling the true stories—stories about sexism, racism and all of the injustices within maya. You have to stop telling all the stories.
When everything is set to right,
When sexual harassment ends,
When Black lives matter,
When wars no longer begin,
Will you be happy, will you finally be alright?
No, of course not.
Instead seek enlightenment,
and discover
the futility of suffering—
carrying as you do,
this mine of bliss
inside you.
