I read this after participating with Silvana in a Soma workshop and I thought it really said a lot about the many ‘Is’ coming together to create a greater energy, which dissolves, while also invigorating the ‘I’

There is no “I”

If you look into my eyes

Of the storm

You will see. At the Centre

A calm,

That is surrounded by chaos

The never ending

Twirling and swirling

And intermingling

Of the many souls within.

All battle for space in the “I”

All trying to get to the Centre

Of Peace

Of stillness

Of Illuminated Darkness

To swim free in the Sea of Tranquillity.

They fling themselves

About the Eye

Like the Twister

That sucked up Kansas

And left Dorothy in a place

She did not know

Or understand,

But where she found herself,

Nonetheless……

All these separate “I”s

Not all can be happy

At the same time

Some unite in an attempt

To be a whole

Others rebel, just to spite.

How dare anyone tell them

What’s wrong or right. S

o, how to convince them

To all come together

And in doing so

Not lose their separateness

Their uniqueness

Their individual voice

And words

Which each must be given -

Their turn to be heard?

The conductor, you and I

Must orchestrate

The harmony of all “I”s

And listen closely

With our ears

To the music of the Spheres

And all the “I”s fall into place

For each has its phrase

It’s movement

And its pace

For each there is

Its single solo space

And then it will

Happily harmonise

With all the many million “I”s
