My Brother
I could feel his pain emanating from deep within himself, I knew what it was like to feel that way… Maybe others don’t understand but I do. All it took was one small comment, one small gesture to let out an avalanche of subtle emotion raging inside of him. The pain, the guilt, I felt it. It makes me realize that I’m really not alone, we all go through very different but at the same time very similar situations, and that our job here is to help each other through these tough times.
Turns out we have more in common than I thought…
And it makes me feel good not because he’s suffering, but because I now know that I’m not alone…
and neither is he…
I had a dream
I was everything but nothing at all.
Yes and no at the same time
Black and white all at once
Both ends of every known and unknown spectrum existing at the same moment
in time
both separate
and as one.
I was everything in existence
past
present
future
and that which will never be.
I was everything yet absolutely nothing at the same time.
I was all of time
the entirety of space
I was forever in a heartbeat.
Every single star
on every single sky
of every single planet
The myriad of galaxies consisted of me
and I gazed further into myself
where I found the countless different universes where all realities took place.
I was the almighty and the defenseless
with infinite knowledge and no intelligence whatsoever.
I was all of this yet separate from it
I viewed it from afar
yet experienced it directly.
Everything at once, summed up into nothing at all
From nothing everything, and from everything… nothing
That was me, for just a second that lasted forever…
