ONE Part II

M.A. Littler, the maverick filmmaker behind The Kingdom of Survival, which just got picked for the Montreal World Film Festival, is taking over today with a poem.

ONE Part II

Do not give yourself to them

Whoever they may be

Unless they give themselves to you

All part of ONE

Do not rage at their ways

Your rage fuels their fire

And extinguishes yours

Let life and work be ONE

Do not separate

Or divide what is not separable

Separation makes the entity incomplete

And causes

Sickness of the mind and body

Let the woods teach you about life and death

Not scholars

Of ever changing theory and ideology

Dance naked in the woods like Blake

Jump naked into winter streams

Like the man they locked up for his feeble mind

Don't forsake pleasure and adventure like I have

For too long

Remove ambition

It has brought us nothing but wars

And broken hearts

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Don't reject the mystery

No one ever knew

The ones who said they did

Dug their own abyss with a silver spoon

Don't detach mind from body or body from mind

Remember the holy number

ONE

You can't defeat death

But you can defeat the life not lived

Strip

Expose your heart

Expose your mind

Expose the spirit

Thy enemies will scatter like horrified death birds

Nothing is as blinding as a courageous soul

Forget everything but

ONE

All is ONE.
