The Realization

There comes a time in one's life when the Realization encroaches, so sudden, taking hold and consuming the mind with thoughts never once desired to be brought forth into light. Now, forced to take on the task of vigorous ponderation, the mind is overwhelmed by the demands of the Realization. So daunting, its grip seems to squeeze every last drop of emotional life from the heart, leaving it bone dry- stone cold. The eyes no longer see, the ears no longer hear, the hands feel nothing; there is no taste to be savored, and no aroma to be sensed. A void, empty, pathetic sight to behold... The Realization has reached out its ruthless hand and stripped what little twinkling light that remains of that protective shell of false happiness that has for so long been the sole barrier between you and the brutal truth… Death is imminent. For Life and Love, into the Mystery sleuth. It is found not in the world but in the man, Truth.
