No true ownership:
there is no true ownership of the world, land belongs to no one in particular, every border an illusion, and more so, we've reversed the order of how things really are. We are products of earth, belonging here in the same manner as a forest, stream, and every other animal that roams the land. Our home isn't made of roof, walls, and green lawn, it's not an apartment, nor farmhouse, that's all simply where we live, protected from elements, raise children, providing safety to carry out our personal matters. It's an important, vital aspect of our lives, yet our true home is of a deeper concern, it's of the earth itself, and we are intimate in our belonging here.
truly seen, we are made of earth and stars, elements of the same stuff that we believe we own - it's impossible to be separate from our origins, literally carrying seawater in our veins, lungs filled by common air, sun and rain nourish our existence. This is home, we're of earth, a conscious expression of its evolutionary path. There is no true ownership here, our belonging too deep, intimate, and all that can be said is that we are shared in equal value, claimed in the same manner as a forest holds a tree, or the ocean knows itself as both depth and wave.
nothing is ever found apart from anything else, simply one in truest fashion.
so who is to claim ownership?
there is no one present that isn't of the earth, we are extensions of a single presence, clay given breath and consciousness, but never made separate from the land. Our role is to honor this existence, express ourselves as a sacred grove of humanity, being the same essence as the holiness of a flowers bloom, roots given deep to earth, stem extending itself to reach the sky, opening to sunlit touch. A flower makes no claim of owning ground nor sky, a tree has no interest in its worth beyond the value of a forest. Everything exist in service to the whole, earth, the one world of our belonging.
no true ownership found.
