How do we transcend the ego?
MEDITATION ON OCEAN AND EGO
Walk into the ocean
feel the resistance
washed from your soul
let yourself sink
listen as stillness
quiets your voice
and its fading stories
told in fear and air
fall deeper
beneath your name
weightless
floating
dissolve
remember you are not the wave —
you were water
all along
infinite and eternal
know there was no you
just the nameless force
that moves the tide
The voice that said “I”
grows faint underwater
Here,
beneath the naming,
you remember:
you are not the wave.
You are what moves the tide.
