I am a fiction
And you are, too,
And in between
We make reality.
I am nothing,
And you are nothing.
And in between
We are everything.
Stop crying out in pain.
This is the pain of life.
Everything hurts.
Even being well.
Everything hurts.
But it’s not all suffering.
Buddha fucked it all up
When he said everything is suffering.
Everything is healing.
