Shared illusion

look into my eyes and you may begin to see
and if not, ask until you find what you are looking for
but if you want to know the truth that makes me
me you'll have to lose your mind and open every door
trust unconditionally as you never have before
leave behind everything you know
and let go

or we could just agree to pretend...

perhaps that is what it means to be human... and why we write fairy tales
and stories of great experiences and wonders... to reach for the
belonging that comes from complete sharing, complete understanding,
complete bonding, being one with each other... to know the peace of
such trust... perhaps words are a way to a truly universal god-like
experience...

even if it is all just shared illusion.
