I am eager to help my fellow man, but I feel my tremendous smallness. Among six billion human beings I am completely invisible, and yet I do feel that my own work, which is based on quality rather than quantity, is extremely important for the future of mankind. Nature makes millions of acorns, but not all of them have a chance to become a tree, and of those who do find themselves in the position of being able to become a tree, not all of them bear fruit. Although this story has been about my search, and the undeniable fact that for me, I have found the pearl of great worth, the secret of the perpetual motion machine and how to make gold out of the mud of my own existence, I hope this resonates with some seekers who may feel as though they need a stable path and a sure way out of the existential terror of useless existence—and who wish to find a way to become truly useful to the Earth, the planets, the solar system and to the life which exists here.
There is a way. It is narrow, sublime and elusive, but it can be found by the serious and the sincere.
Everything is combustible
the flame's wish
consider the image of a candle flame, burning
the blue below, the orange red above
lingering, and pressing upwards.
the wax
the material which feeds the flame
is below it, underneath
yet the flame yearns upward.
what is the flame's wish?
it wishes, to reach something which is above it
in an unquenchable ardour,
it flickers, hopes and presses up
looking for its lover.
we,
are the flame of a candle
aching towards a potential
which remains above us.
yet sometimes
a spark breaks off.
it floats away,
lands,
and catches fire
