The colour of separation

To embody the concept of non-duality in life, we must first discern the notion of duality in living….

I am somebody, so are you, you are unique, as am I, yet, we are human together.

When I met Yugen, His colourful collection of characteristics filled every half moon crevice on the palate of desirable qualities one wishes for in a soul beyond the self and I was proud to paint my name against his full and rich essence, his uniqueness….

When Yugen met me. He told me I was like a heroine to him and one vignette later, he had placed his rose coloured glasses next to his promise of seeing things as they truly were and found his most authentic expression in its wake.

He unearthed himself as an open vessel that sailed the seas of blue expansive possibilities and never for a moment looked back over his shoulder that had already given way to winter’s end. In front of him was the warmest of island homes opening its tender arms and encasing him with his sun-kissed warm humanity again. We laughed, that the blush of his cheeks wouldn't be so revealing. His melanin surface penetrating deeper than anyone in the world would care for. I made up for the loss of sherry soaked impressions and I glowed from crown to toe a whole symphony of luminescence fireflies craving to shine on the darkest night of the earth's solar return.

We yearn to be somebody, yet at times we desire to be a nobody, floating through the ether of no definition.

When Yugen met me, he wrote me endless pieces of somatosensory poetry, the sort of scripts I had only ever evoked up in my dream like reality. He inspired more freedom in my medium voice and colour in my choice of living in a way that resonated deeply with my spirited heart, for a second I thought it was beyond me, this tapestry of mellifluous frequencies reaching beyond time and space. Until I sat in the enchanted forest of my self worth, the colours that I noticed internally would have never been so illuminated.. Yugen showed me the way back home, taking my hand and walking me to the resting place of pure consciousness. The place that is in all of us. A place beyond the mind, where our limitless potential exists and there are colours that have yet to be discovered and expressed.

We are somebody and simultaneously we are a nobody, connected completely through our persistent humanity. To become nothing, we must first acknowledge that we are something. Whether you are a we, a she, a they or a he, become proudly a something of nothingness and shine like the brightest star in a sky full of somebodies, desiring to become nothing, and let that be your everything

“I am human because of your humanity.” Hold my hand, I'll take you home. You will never get lost again.
