Can you stop?
Can you stop identifying with a cause
Can you stop identifying with peace
Can you stop identifying with war
With a personality
             a history
             a lineage
             a skin tone, a people, a family, a culture
             a gender ideology
             a nation, a land, a country, a place
             a religion, a political view
             a geography, a map
Can you stop identifying with
a personality
a point of view
a need to have one
Can you stop identifying with
a you
a me
a self
an other
What might happen if the addiction to identifying ceased
Can you stop identifying with
a side
a cause
Call off the addiction to
wrong v right
good v bad
us v them
Ukraine v Russia
U.S. v Everyone
Israel v Hamas-Gaza
Jew v Muslim
rich v poor
vaxxed v unvaxxed
left v right
What would, could, might happen
if you stopped
Can you stop identifying?
Can
you
stop?
This is so loud right now. The investment we've all had in being right. Identifying with a label. May the veils keep falling away. Thank you Erin... great piece.
Yup, tired and retired.
