b114 (3.6-1.2023): life is just a beach

life is a beach [i]
by a. grain

life is just a beach
a vision and extension
a my-story and rhyme
a mode of non-pretension
a whole, a-part (collective) in sandy sort of wa[y]ve
 
life is just a beach
it’s memories we save...

in life

b16 (2.28-2.2003): one, little grain

one little grain [1]

by a. g. rain

one little grain
alone in the Sand
one little grain
i don’t understand

one little grain
it’s so hard to see
i don’t understand
that I Am the Beach

__________________________  

· the only way that the grain Is the beach is via connection and Unification.

· it’s hard to See “Oneness” …from the perspective of the grain. the “sense of separate self” sees separateness. the grain would have a hard time seeing itself as “dune,” never mind “Beach.”

· the only way that Beach can describe itself, however, is by understanding it’s particularized parts.

· Beach, when answering the question: “Who Am I?” subdivides and (apparently) separates into stretches, dunes, and grains of sand. each grain could be (further) subdivided into molecules, atoms, sub-atomic particles, and so on…

· …but Beach Is Beach, and Beach consists of apparent separateness while be-ing Whole. from Beach-Perspective, It Is All One. separate grains are, in a sense, an illusion, because the Beach never “becomes” less than the Beach.

· the illusion of separation is not “subtraction.” it is the illusion of division.

(yes, sometimes life is a beach)
