WHEN WE DEVELOP MEMORY WE FORGET WHO WE ARE

This poem is for you,
When we are young babes we know who we are, but we can't remember being babies.
When we develop memory, we forget who we are.
When we recognize what we see and hear, we become deaf and blind.
When we learn what we are taught, we don't know anything.
Unlearning is the way to knowledge.
Forgetting who we are is the way to be who we are.
Having liquid eyes is the way to see the oneness of all things.
Not looking, not hearing, not knowing, not remembering.
Rather, the Way is Seeing, listening, being, and forgetting all memory.
The head thinks the heart is naive, maybe crazy,
lost in dreams.
But the heart does not care what the head thinks,
The head thinks it knows about the origin of the world,
Only the Heart knows
That the world is reborn,
Our hearts feel for each other,
trusting that they are one,
Touching a tree in spring,
Who are we?
I know who I am,
I am blooming.
