Everything is a teacher

nothing is random

drop the labels of duality
let the binaries fall apart
embracing complexity
with both arms

notice the intention
in all whimsy and wisdom
within and without

play with your reflection
in strange eyes
of others on your skin

take discomfort as a partner
and tango with diversity

renounce normalcy
and predictable uniformity

this is how one can 
learn and belong
in this chaordic cosmos
and tune into the power
of being both the
creator and the created.

____

The term chaordic was coined by Dee Hock.
