Epilogue
Cats Lyrics

I thought it all came to a cross but it turned into a circle
I believed there was a definitive conclusion, but instead, it became an ongoing cycle.

When I started using green with a touch of orange and purple
When I embraced various colors and mixed them together, blending different elements.

Like sunset over rock mountains with a forest in the distance
Similar to the beauty of a sunset painting a captivating scene, captivating and distant.

It dissipated my resistance to truth, to flow
It diminished my reluctance to accept the genuine and natural way of things.

To what I've always known in the recess of my soul
To the deep understanding that has always resided within me.

In the darkness where I grow
In the challenging moments where I find personal growth.

And so I let go of the burden I'd been bearing
Consequently, I release the weight I had been carrying.

Of the mask that I'd been wearing
Of the facade I had been portraying to others.

It was such a heavy load
It weighed heavily upon me.

To judge a thing on quality alone is a delusion
Evaluating something solely based on its perceived worth is an illusion.

Whether right or wrong, good or evil can't ever be proven
Determining absolute correctness or morality is impossible to demonstrate.

You can point your finger, scream and shout
You can blame and express anger vehemently.

And stay lost in the illusion
And remain trapped in the deceptive perception.

Or sit quietly, watch your thoughts and feel the mountains moving
Alternatively, be still, observe your thoughts, and connect with the subtle vibrations of nature.

This meditation is a blessing and provision
Engaging in meditation is a gift and a means of support.

To help us see beyond the falsehood of division
To assist us in perceiving beyond the deceptive separations in existence.

And so the universe bestowed on us a vision
Therefore, the universe granted us a revelation.

Of a lung filled up to zero, turned to one in exhalation
A representation of a breath, from emptiness to unity upon exhaling.

So here I sit and contemplate the might of this existence
Thus, I find myself reflecting and marveling at the power of existence.

While something in me tries to qualify the world with such insistence
Although a part of me persists in trying to rationalize and categorize the world intensely.

Some say that all is nothing, some say that all is one
Various perspectives exist, some proclaim nothingness, while others uphold unity.

Who speaks the truth? I seek the truth in everyone
Whose voice holds the truth? I aspire to discover truth within every individual.

Within these bodies we must seek a clearer view
Inside our physical vessels, we must strive for a more comprehensive perspective.

If you zoom out far enough the galaxy's a molecule
By expanding our awareness, the vast galaxy becomes minuscule in comparison.

And if we look within ourselves, we're given yet another clue
Furthermore, by introspecting, we acquire further insights.

This expansion and contraction is a microcosm too
The process of expanding and contracting symbolizes a smaller representation of the whole.

You are the perfect self and yet you don't know what to do
You possess inherent perfection, yet uncertainty inhibits knowing the correct path.

You seek a thousand goals and know not which one to pursue
Amidst numerous aspirations, you lack clarity on which to prioritize.

But don't forget that every river found the ocean blue
Remember that every river eventually reaches the vastness of the blue ocean.

I wonder on the way if every drop of water knew
I ponder whether each individual drop of water comprehends this journey.

Your mind's stuck in a loop and is just endlessly repeating
Your thoughts are trapped in a repetitive cycle, continuously reiterating.

The fog you think you're stuck in is just something you're perceiving
The haze you believe is confining you is merely a perception you hold.

The wisdom of this world I can no longer find relief in
I can no longer find solace in the conventional knowledge of this world.

The teachings of my wordless breath are all I can believe in
I place my faith solely in the teachings of my silent breath.
