Universally Dancing

Echo Ki

Volume 41  Issue 1,2,&3 | Posted: April 8, 2026

Even though we are completely
enveloped in universal energy
comfortably embracing bodies
unprejudiced to beliefs or cultures,
simply providing all the
riches we need to enjoy life,
these minds we have in the bodies
interfere in the realization of
that truth—no matter what body colour;
black, brown, white, yellow, red,
even albinos—all are, absolutely, influenced
by perpetually slipping into mind’s
vigilantly abstracted presence.
Natural buoyancy can
upright us when we
swallow swiftly enough
to block the mind, just as
breath, affirming truth,
can stop mind’s strong whispers
from always tugging
away from life itself,
yet we, mostly, choose to
follow mind’s lead, dancing
feverishly back and forth
as a frolicking cha cha cha
watches, patiently.
