The Many Sides of the Face

Perspectives on the enormity of depths.

Which side are you on? Put your hand across and flip it over.

There is a stream of thought that you know how many edges there are.

But you’re afraid of how deep that number may plunge.

One can fall and awake upright, just as one can ascend to new lows.

What you see is not a mirage, it’s just another path.

A path we all must take if we are to bond with the need.

There are so many faces its hard to choose.

If only they could all meet a greater purpose would emerge.

Let go of all the fringes that are not prepared to love you and you will find your courage.

Don’t give in to an external world.

After all, the surface is only skin deep.
