living a layered life

We live our life in layers,
but we try to put life in boxes

In finite minds, that are bound, we categorize to control
In time-formed days, we desire to accomplish one thing first, then the next
In a shaped destiny beyond our understanding, we fight and struggle, rebel and resist
box after box,

but yet,

we find that somethings don't fit under our wildest imaginations,
we cannot create a box to conform to real life.

Its time to throw out the boxes.

Living a layered life, to me, means that at any one moment, I represent so many different things.
I am-my identity
I am skills-my ability
I am adult-my expectations
I am human-my emotions
I am spirit-my soul
I am created-my beginnings
I am eternal-my ever afters

These layers ever exist,
dancing within one another,
ever breathing, continually being.

Layers of living in gold and magenta, sapphire and emerald.

At times, one hue rises above another
At times, hues collide in a kaleidoscope of color
At times, a mass of chaos

But always moving, forming, shaping, creating
Living a layered life is a multi-spectrum, technicolor event.

In box form, we segment,
but in reality, it's all there, blending and weaving, twisting and dancing...

I think understanding will change everything
