A rebirth to die for

December 4, 2018

Do you want to have the rebirthday party of your dreams?

Try to die and be reborn and celebrate your rebirthday as often as possible.

And don’t do the biggest rebirth blooper… clinging on to the same shit that killed you.

And if you’re gonna be born again, you better be raised right!

Just be here now… I mean now… I mean now… I mean now… no now.

In Nepali, ‘moryo’ means ‘to die’, which is what was written on my friend’s birthday cake.

Moryo, moryo, moryo
You have to die and die and die
All the time
To live and love and live
And all that there is
Is this moment
And every day is your birthday
With ‘I died’ written on the cake
They say when sleeping women wake
Mountains move
And the earth quakes
And tectonic plates shake
I shed my skin like a snake
And have faith
That I will awake
Ready to fly
Like a butterfly
From the soup of guts and goop
Inside the cocoon
I try flying
Wings writhing
I was dying
But I’ll flap my wings until I’m alive again
And I will transcend
And pray to Kali
Let go of the ego
Let go of the body
So I can be free
And nothing can stop me
I am dying all the time
To climb
So when I get to the top of the mountain
It is mine
So I can look to the skies
To the sunshine
That lights the moon
That turns the tides
And from the light reflected
I rise like a phoenix resurrected
So look deep into the dark water
And if you can see the beauty
In the reflection
Then look up at the moon
Whose reflection it is
And look to the stars
To know resurrection like this
And a true loves kiss
Is not a contract or a conquest
But a messy and delicious hatching of hearts into some ecstatic never before seen bird
Who defies all dealings of life and death and rebirth
And one day
When I can make mountains move
I will write a new story
One that is true
When I awake
To a blank page
And pick up my pen
I will write
From beginning to end
And around again
From zero to infinity
To the divine divinity
Inside and above
From life to love
To death and rebirth
From our first to our last
Breath on this earth
From finish to start
To the beat of our heart
For better or worse
Til death do us part
Moryo, moryo, moryo yo

#Happy rebirthday
