Forgetfulness

"To every thing there is a season, and a time
to every purpose under the heaven"
— Ecclesiastes 3

Remember Oneness Forget the rest. Remember the Now Forget the past. Remember being born Forget the dying. Remember sunshine Forget the darkness. Remember the feast Forget the famine. Remember courage Forget the fear. Remember the Spring Forget winter frost. Remember the Soul Forget the body. Remember the Garden Forget the serpent. Remember the joy Forget the grief. Remember the hope Forget the doubts. Remember water Forget the waves. Remember well-being Forget the pains. Remember Wisdom Forget foolishness. Remember the Truth Forget the falsehood. Remember the Real Forget illusions.

Remember kindness Forget the malice. Remember the silence Forget the speech. Remember rainbows Forget pots of gold. Remember the peace Forget the fighting. Remember ascent Forget the fall. Remember cosmos Forget the chaos. Remember wonder Forget the boredom. Remember dancing Forget standing still. Remember magic Forget the logic. Remember the Gift Forget the discards. Remember the Friend Forget the foes. Remember the Good Forget the evil. Remember the Love Forget the despair. Remember the Work Forget idleness. Remember the Heart Forget the sutra. Remember the Mind Forget all else.
