Poetic Thoughts - Anti-Pigeon Hole Mantra - by C.W. Pruitt II

Bursting The Pigeon Hole

It is easy to become painted into a corner and toil there ad infinitum. The corner may be familiar and comforting, but so is clinical depression.

The poem below advocates busting the pigeon hole through awareness of our innate human versatility.

Anti-Pigeon Hole Mantra

In a deep still place

I heard

"You are more

than just one thing."

I resisted and resisted

then realized-

I am more than

just one thing.

I am more than

a finite being.

My heart it longs

to sing.

Sometimes what I knew

becomes occluded

and my perception

of freedom

becomes deluded

then I re-realize

what I knew

which is true

through and through

that all sentient beings

are more than just one thing
