the hero rhymes within [1]
we’re having fun and feeling fine
although this poem – it doesn’t rhyme
it doesn’t matter if we win
because the hero rhymes within
although this poem – it doesn’t rhyme
it doesn’t matter if we win
because the hero rhymes within

· the above poem was written (in less than 60 seconds) as part of our annual “Femino Family Reunion,” during the “scavenger hunt” event.
· the martineau clan had to find 10 items, and #10 was “a four-line poem that rhymes.”
· sidenote: we (the martineaus) “won” the scavenger hunt, in a tie-breaking “challenge” by putting on a one-minute song and dance routine (to “jingle bells”).

poem analysis, two years later,
- the True Self resonates within each of us, in a Real World where earthly victories and defeats do not matter, because this Real World is One of no-matter.
- this Real World is a Uni-Verse, a Singing Vibration of Loving Energy, expressed as infinite reflections of Light, interpreted (on the earth plane) as the dual world. in Reality, it’s All One.
- this Real World can be “Connected with” (in glimpses, here), usually via art, song, meditation, creativity, massage, poetry, dance, etc. -- when love guides us toward Unity and Harmony.
- think
about it: at times when you have
glimpsed this “Unified Other World,” haven’t you been in an altered state
of some kind? this (loving) feeling
emits a sense of Perfection, when everything seems “right.” some people call these moments “Aha!” moments.
- anyway… the Way to the True Self is an inner journey. someday, we’ll re-Member that, like dorothy (in the wizard of oz), this wasn’t really a Real journey… at All.
note: the word “hero” contains the dual-opposite words “he” and “her” while also containing the symbol of unity and one-ness “o”. inside each of us is an apparent paradoxical dichotomy: the apparently separate self is a Unified Self. this Self is the watcher of the Movie, the player in the Play, the dancer in the Dance. no-thing else is Really Real.
every-One is a Hero.
