Emotionality is
not a results-based activity.
We were not born that way.
But we are highly trained
and this is intensely repeated
most of our lives as such.
This is as if
any moment can be drained
of essence before our eyes
and filled with meaning
and course and context
as if reaction to the world
is our first priority.
And what was original
from within to manifest,
may be left inside
as somewhat muted
or privately kept as put away.
You see this compounded in kids,
by both the innocence of being
and the success of their training,
as they burrow inwardly
yet borrow meaning
for social exchange.
We see it all the time
in singers,
where we want to hear
emotionally displayed hearts
and souls revealed by song.
But so many times,
we get verse and precision,
lyrics and account.
Even in the most intimate
of relationships,
rules abide
as to what to share,
and what is not acceptable
from an emotional
presenting perspective.
We will all go to the grave
partially emotionally opened
and partially emotionally
concealed and unrealized.
In our private review,
for all that we
could have wanted
to share and care,
but we didn’t and don’t.
The emotional energy
is always coming forth
in the moment
but hardly of the moment,
for it is layered
with contingencies and recoils
and subterfuge
and misrepresentations
to suffice for the audience,
and I do mean the audience,
even of ourselves, at hand.
The rarities of emotional richness,
empathies, empathic states,
as deep wells of connectivity,
are infrequent,
often taken as depiction
rather than engagement
and thus shared.
But there is a worth of immersion
in each of us
to be emotionally sourced
and communal
as the basis for an energetic truth
that goes beyond the meaning
that words would have us believe . . .
We live to source
and share from there.
That place within
is so close to home for all of us.
It is as a oneness recognized.
Emotionality is
our one common shared brain
that lives as us,
as all of us, together,
outside of time . . .
