The moon in us

Why art thou so bright?
Moon answers,
I am merely radiating light
From the sun

Moon asks in return,
O people of the earth,
What are you reflecting?
Why have you neglected
the mirror
you are made to be?

Why are you waiting?
Spring from dormancy!
Your essence is divinely
Beneath the seeming
clay

From up here,
You are specks of dusts
On the verge of
becoming sparks

Your element is made
to radiate
This same Light
I am emitting
This same Light
you're admiring

Your soul yearns
to be polished
Like a fine and dandy mirror
That won't stop beaming

I exist to ignite
something within you
So you can
start lighting up
your world.

The constant stream of information from different online platforms not only pull me from various directions, but it spreads my attention too thin that it is impossible to follow one stream of thought, sit on it for awhile, slowly reflect and if possible, articulate it. It is not

Information vs. Knowledge

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
