And then he said: ‘let no one steal the birth and flow of poetry from your soul’. 

I place beauty in its own category, beyond words and realize how far we’ve travelled to let go of eternity in all its playfulness, its patterns and stories, its endless ending, its nameless wonder.

.Indoctrination discourages us from thinking creatively,

prompting instead pre-prepared answers,

constraining our possible futures,

limiting our heartfelt responses.

As we disentangle ourselves from the indoctrinated,

from rationality, obedience and conformity,

we must often maintain our silence,

proceed with compassion 

remove ourselves from reason
by way of the reasonable.
