Good old-fashioned idealism

It was winter,
and I went outside.

I said, �World,
I�m immortal.
I�ll always exist.
But you only exist because I see you.

If you don�t give me anything,
I won�t give you anything.�

Cocoons: A Fibonacci Poem

We
are
becoming more
and more relaxed
with uncertainty, more and more
relaxed with groundlessness, more and more relaxed with

not having walls around us to keep us
protected in a little box
or cocoon.�Enlightenment
we do
not
have.
