Via Basel: A Manifesto
Wintering by Marguerite Gignoux
A Manifesto for the coming months and years
I will stop
discussing,
convincing,
rationalizing,
arguing,
expecting,
agonizing,
ruminating,
worrying,
about IT.
I will
sit still,
quiet down,
breathe slowly,
act kindly,
speak truthfully,
write authentically,
love unconditionally,
help individually,
listen intently,
reflect deeply,
resist IT.
Repeat above
again and
again till
it sinks in
my core.
Transforming me,
you, all,
gradually, incrementally.
Reality manifests
oneness, wholeness,
indescribable, infinite.
