Remember when we were kids
and we realized for the first time
that we were given a specific body
that we could not change?
Because of the genetic and ancestral circumstances
that created our bodies for us?
And how we will never be able to see our own faces?
Even when we look in the mirror,
it will always be backward.
We will never be able to see our own souls.
Remember how we were okay with that?
And how we accepted that the body we were given
wasn’t actually who we were
but just a coincidence?
And who we are is someone so much deeper
than our bodies?
Someone so indescribable.
And how we later learned
that we will be judged for our bodies
and not our souls
even though we didn’t choose them?
We must never forget
that the earth is a costume
for the energies that are underneath.
We should see people as their soul’s color,
their intentions,
their shine.
We should see the world
as if there was no world,
only light
and warmth.
As if we were kids again.
As if we didn’t have faces
that we wouldn’t ever want to see
even if we could.
