how long...so long...too long...
the night is dark like ash and i am post-cafe, post-2 am, post-any remaining streaks of energy. candles aflicker and heart dripping unrest...i am here and "i am that"...tat vam asi...a golden person in my world shared these words with me a few weeks ago...before/before/before...and also enlightened me as to their meaning....that being, "i am that...which i want to be"....translation: all that it is i want to better about myself--i am already that. desire is a powerful thing. and so, by yearning to create differences in ourselves, we are already that which we look towards.
for me, this is hopeful.
hope recreated, and realigned.
heat on my skin like a
second skin like a layer of liquid
energy faint but
real it is there i can feel
it into the velvet solitude that is
tonight don't feel very much of
anything but in that absence there is presence there
is presence it will be
okay.
sadness found me...but reamin in it i will
not cutting it like slender
vines, gentle, spiderweb-light it will
die a little every day i will
dedicate myself to it.
rain and lilacs/lilacs and rain.
for now, that is all.
perhaps sometime soon words will find me again.

May hope and laughter abound like a mighty rushing wind. I lift a face, a heart, a fist, a glass of wine in your name daily. You are magnetic, words always find those who are magnetic.
With much love, ma coeur dans la plage.
Your Madgesty.
wonderful thoughts...but tat-tvam-asi has much deeper meanings than that..It is considered one of the mahavakyas(Grand Pronouncements) of vedic hinduism.
The meaning of this saying is that the Self - in its original, pure, primordial state - wholly or partially identifiable or identical with the Ultimate Reality that is the ground and origin of all phenomena. The knowledge that this is so characterises the experience of liberation or salvation that accompanies the Unio Mystica.
Tattumasi is "YOU ARE THAT". Nothing about pure
