what if i told you...

what if I told you

you're not supposed to sacrifice your joy

for your enlightenment

you don’t have to sacrifice your empathy

to be rational

what if I whispered

that you are allowed to relax

your jaw, your shoulders, your breath

(what am I, your yoga teacher?)

-

what if I told you

you don’t have to play those games

would you shrug it off

would you be relieved

would you roll your eyes

would you tense up

-

oh how often we tense up

without meaning to

-

what if I told you

you don’t need more information

how ironic is it that in this age of information

we feel so much knowledge starvation

there is always one more piece of data you don’t have

just one more

just one more

just one more…

and yet

what you really seek is not information

it is wisdom

wisdom doesn’t come from data

wisdom comes from your experience

-

who is creating your experience?
