Awakening and Humpty Dumpty


Awakening


Teresa was born but she could not see the entire world was her fantasy.

She believed what she saw to be real and oh how it all did make her feel.

Though each moment was fresh she could not see, and depressed is how she came to be.

Through the darkness a light did appear, closer and closer, the two did draw near.

Just as the moth goes to the light so did Teresa she could not fight.

I thought there were two yet now I see.... ONE is all there will ever be.

Awake is Awake.




The following poem came to me this morning and felt appropriate to use as a metaphore for what happens when you lose the mind made identity and the belief structure that holds it all in place. aka: enlightenment or awakening. Once you begin to fall there is no getting back on the wall, and nothing in the world can put you back together again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humtpy Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the kings men.
Could'nt put Humpty together again.

Who wrote Humpty Dumpty?

Answer:

Nobody knows. Lewis Carrol wrote about Humpty Dumpty in 'Alice through the Looking Glass' and the rhyme is used to teach children about irreversible changes/actions and consequences. First published in about 1810 but dating back to the 17th century, it is thought that the rhyme originally described the destruction in the English Civil War of a Royalist cannon felled from a parapit at St Marys church, during the Parliamentarian seige of Colchester in 1684.
