it crawls
in my skin
it gets my attention
loosening the binds
of an unconscious world
thoughtless in their ingestion
it's what it takes
to make a change
you learn to listen
you listen to learn
and forgive yourself when you falter
and I notice how I resist
how I fear the mystery
the impermanence of self
I cry inside for everything to stop
victimize and scrutinize
it shakes me into panic
but my body
and soul
they are so efficient
so diligent
undeniably more intelligent than "I"
the thoughts of "I"
the finite "I"
so I reprogram my fearful dialogue
and the honoring of a vessel
into words of trust
into gentle nourishment
I'm reminded again
that the call to consciousness
is faithful
