A Cup Is Just a Cup! Reality and Illusion
Opublikował/a psychoneurocybernauta w dniu październik 24, 2009
a cup is just a cup
it’s made of the earth
and how you know it’s real
you touch it, you feel
the cup is always here
it’s not in the past
it’s not a memory
and so it will last
and so it will last
but when we take our memories
and we project them on the cup
we believe it to be special
but we made it all up
we made it all up
when we decide the cup is special
that cup we fear to lose
we cry when it breaks
now why would we choose
to take a thing that’s real
and try to make it what it’s not
we give it a meaning
that’s only in a thought
I let go of the past
I look at the cup
the cup is in my hands
and that is enough
it’s no longer special
it’s here for me to use
I don’t cry if it breaks
no specialness to lose
no need to take what’s real
and try to make it what it’s not
by giving it a meaning
that’s nothing but a thought
the cup is just a cup
it’s made of the earth
and how I know it’s real
I touch it, I feel
the cup is always here
it’s not in the past
the cup is from the earth
and so it will last
and so it will last
I am a human being
I am from the earth
and how I know I’m real
I touch, I feel
I am in my body
I’m not in the past
I breathe with the earth
and so I will last
and so I will last
when I’m in my memories
then I am in the past
I cannot touch my memories
and so they will not last
and so they will not last
my body is enough
it’s real and it’s here
I don’t need to worry
I don’t need to fear
to lose a special meaning
which is only in my mind
I am already here
no memories that bind
I am a human being
I am from the earth
and how I know I’m real
I touch, I feel
I am in my body
I’m not in the past
I breathe with the earth
and so I will last
and so I will last
sing it with the kids!
