the seed of sadness

The seed of sadness

in perception lies

the seed of sadness.

if every time we check

(which is often)

we confused checking

with awareness

then we live in conclusion

that we harvest as summary.

that activity of summary

(matching expectations)

short-circuits presence

in the now.

this preoccupation

with editing

(asserting expectation’s

pre-witness as outcome)

renders towards

a meaningful version

as if a now.

providing self with story

(as if to self-chaperone)

is to insure a now

laden with familiarity.

this is masking

the expression of self

as true spirit

yet deeply known

by self as so.

experience then becomes

an outreach

to validate

by symbolic agreement

and therefore perpetuates

an assumption

of receiving worth

from the outside in

as the method

of justification ongoing.

intake assumes itself

to a center stage

of function.

the sense of self

as spirit

is then referenced

as a stand-in role.

the source for a now

becomes a position

of accountability concluded.

we therefore stand in claim

and context

not only is our method

but also doubling

as our proof.

context becomes both

a foreordained preconception

as well as

our pre-occupation

as to source

for expression and order

yet it is nothing more

than consensus forming

into an insular entitlement

of self presumed

as source.

by this method

we prepare as victim

to result

as functioning

towards affect.

hence by this means

called perception

we are prone

to the seeds of sadness

coming off

the tree of life.
