The Power of Neutrality

How do you unsee something you just witnessed?

This week, I saw something on the internet that I deemed to be very sad. I saw a terribly wounded child confront another terribly wounded child. Neither had much of a semblance of personal power. So one child tried to exert his power and put the weight of the multiverse onto the other child's throat. I saw that other child expire his last breath into the cosmos.


And I can't unsee it.


I tried to get someone to help me unsee it. But it seemed like EVERYONE had seen it. And many other terribly wounded inner children started playing by the rules of radicals, which is quite sensibly when a perceived, stigmatized, tired "havenot" has no more fucks to give. I certainly can relate to being relegated to the moniker of a "havenot" in my life, but I'm surrounded by more haves, than havenots, like ANYONE - thin or thick skinned - who is reading this right now.


I used almost all of my "haves" to locate someone who could help me unsee what I saw. And I found, on the same internet, three people who hadn't yet seen the atrocity.


They are all the way in Costa Rica.


Two of them are the two children in this video, Christiano and Indy. Both of them vibrant, vulnerable, powerful, operating as one. The other is my friend Sara, who recorded this video. I intercepted her before she had access to any means of viewing what I was trying to unsee, and asked her to help me with my dilemma. So I skirted around the images, and asked her to give me some advice about my growing need to be a part of the "have" vs "havenot" movement or to just play my pithy "empowered to be un-enlightened" card.


I'm glad I intercepted her. Before the un-unseeable crawled to some of the more remote areas of Costa Rica,


Sara reminded me of THE POWER OF NEUTRALITY.


And taught me a song that soothed the terribly wounded inner child in me:


I release control 

and surrender 

to the flow 

of love 

that surrounds me.


While we talked for 2 hours, I wanted to share THIS video and lyrics for anyone feeling the hellacious-ness of being in the middle of evolutionary friction. 


Thank you Sara, Christiano, and Indy.
