It’s not many beings each living

their own lives.

It’s one being

living many lives.

It’s not many eyes

seeing the One.

It’s the One

seeing through many eyes.

It’s not many voices

joined in a single chorus.

It’s one voice

sung through many mouths.

When One becomes many

And the many no longer

share a single life,

when they no longer

see themselves as one,

or sing with a common voice,

it becomes time

For the many beings to see themselves

as having one life

For the many eyes to see the One

For the many voices to sing

in a single chorus.

As the One became many

So the many must become One.
