we all have a cope of trauma 1/31/19


all of phenomenology is traumatic.
two-strand DNA is the provider.
from birth, the world of contrast begins.
dualistic thinking takes hold.
experience becomes 
the wonderland of comparative truth.
coping is a style of mindfulness.
memory retention becomes cause-worthy.
the story becomes the nature of habitual.
spiritual presence is bystander view 
as if from afar.
normative becomes the narrative.
skills like observation, objectification 
and depiction become major operatives.
all of these are a byproduct of separateness.
yes, closeness is appreciated
in a contextual-reality edited format.
trauma is inexplicably developed 
into a manageable coping style.
each person develops a different set
of internal integrative skills.
stress is the underscore of awareness.
endure is a notion of the timeline of living.
make-a-go-of-it is widely encouraged 
in interactional formats by elders
as they lead by example energetically,
but prompted by language 
and self as authorship.
mental linearity is high on demand.
the rigor of living this way builds momentum.
the gloss of conscious being becomes this
as if forever a dingy on a vast sea.
assumptions become beliefs,
eventually below the horizon line of awareness,
even then, outside simple sensory range.
exploration beneath, behind or beyond
is viewed as of a questionable nature.
yet, quite innocently, that search continues.
daily life is filled with it
and subsequent dismals.
quest is not seduced by full entrapment.
all of living is playing ‘name-that-tune’.
the lyrics run unaccounted for.
the pursuit is for just one more note
and I will remember and name it as such.
the cosmic choir hums along deeply inside.
giving it lyrics is a very personal discovery,
probably not a two-strand DNA experience
as such.
our whole life is a song book.
turn to the page that sings you alive.
where trauma is demystified permanently.
then maybe your being 
precedes your personage . . .
