TODAY is about discovering a TRUTH (separation)

Super Sunday to you, Superhero!
Today is about discovery.

---

The dharma, the truth, is often hidden in plain sight for us to discover. Appearing between pauses in conversations, or contained in poetic works or lyrics. The lyrics of this song, written by Peter Gabriel David Rhodes, perfectly describe to me that which keeps me separate, divided within myself and disconnected from others.

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

Oh, I'm listening to the conversation
Judge and jury in my head
It's colouring everything
All we did and said

And still I head that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind

I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

Oh, I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
There must be more than this
It's only in uncertainty
That we're naked and alive

I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
Hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared
Listen to the wind

I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

What I carry in my heart
Brings us so close or so far apart
Only love can make love

I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
I hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

This morning, I remembered how almost 6 years ago, I wrote these lines, "What I carry in my heart, Brings us so close or so far apart, Only love can make love," on a scrap of paper, which I pinned to the wall of a cafe, alongside other notes left by pilgrims on their Way to Santiago.

Today, I return to these words seeing their truth, in an absolute sense and through the relative experiences of my life. And, how I would do well to remember them during times of confusion and disillusionment.

Wishing you a day of dazzle and shine.

Fly on, Superhero.
Fly on!
