What's beneath you, hold one up

Promising strength
is one's will towards change.
Reality stripped of myth
often makes complexity, simple
For what emotion stripped of narrative,
isn't?
And what thought stripped of emotion,
isn't mundane?
Truth and beauty seen on their own terms
(where available)
sings life eternal silently

Reality stripped of myth
would kill you.
The stories in our life organizes
our thoughts, our deeds, our witnessing
happenings, rationals narrated,
but told as an atom
motivation and ambition
would flee for lack of sight
in lands as dark as this.

Emotions stripped of narrative
are the hardest things to deal with.
Like pure sadness or pure joy.
(A symptom of bipolar illness)
Unrooted it is mental illness,
and rooted is cynical or optimism
which are learned practices
and so could be said a discipline
but not one of an empty mind.

Thought stripped of emotion
is a great tree flowering
growing both below and above
consciousness of ground zero.
It grows with the help of fungus
but also light in branches reach
embracing what we see and hear
in days warm touch
and nights' rain.

Truth and beauty
hangs in sky
for those who can see
while lies gild
the painted sight
in frames of life.
What is one's mindset
when growing up?

Sing life eternal!
Never stop
Living, loving, learning!
From our
Deeds, witnesses, thoughts!
For rooted feelings
Grow with help from fungus
Below those whom can see.
