Self-ish-ness
Ultimately
everything we do
is
selfish.
We are trying to be
ourselves
no matter what it takes.
No matter
what price
has to be
paid.
I Iove Tibet
and Tibetans
because I long
for inner peace
myself.
I am excited about
the vikings,
because i desire
to embody
integrity.
And have the courage
to live life
fully,
from and until
my dying breath.
I love the Irish,
cause I long to awaken
the magic
that is hiding
in my own
back
yard.
I bow in a mosque
and pray to the One.
the name of the nameless
whose name
spells
respect.
I long to be united
with the Beloved
so I spill the vine of Mevlana
over my lips
and whirlwind
of Rumi.
I desire desire
and I desire to be desired,
and not get lost in the ignorance.
but in the intoxication of beauty.
I long to get drunk on a glass
of water.
And I long to be free.
So yes even Ayn Rand
was correct,
to a degree.
We long to be who we are.
And we must accept any challenge
walk any territory.
Over come
and difficulty
for the sheer
joy
to be able to be
who
we
are.
Because
this is
the only way
we can truly be
of service
to all.
