OUR PART

 

BEING WHOLE

Our part in the vast ocean of the Cosmos
Is important—just as a single cog on a single wheel
Allows the vast machine to work.
We can’t see, for lack of eyes.
We can’t understand for lack of mind.
We can’t experience for lack of perception.
But we can know, by going deep
Within and observing our intimate Cosmos.
We are tough critters, riddled with self-determination,
Pride, and Independence—not to mention a broad streak of
Over-confidence, so we can feel in control of our lives.
And indeed we are in control, at least until
The precise point where our single cog stops
The wheel from turning.
When our Awareness Transcends the conviction
That we are just a little cog,
We understand that we are
The wheel, as well.
That’s what “Union” means: everything doing its part
Within the Whole.
In the vast ocean of the Cosmos, our part
Is no more important than all the other parts.
 

Oh, well. So much for Pride.
