Lost in a swarm of people trying to eat the fruit without planting the tree
I learned early that creation carries a weight
That consumption never will.
Some present themselves through intention,
Yet reveal themselves through pattern.
That consumption never will.
Some present themselves through intention,
Yet reveal themselves through pattern.
What they reach for, what they avoid.
What they take without offering anything in return.
These behaviors speak far louder than anything they say aloud.

The persona may be crafted with care,
But the shadow is always honest.
But the shadow is always honest.
Hidden intentions are not always malicious.
More often, they are unconscious.
More often, they are unconscious.
Some act from unexamined impulses,
From unmet needs they cannot name.
From unmet needs they cannot name.
Many believe they are choosing freely.
When in truth they are only reenacting the familiar.
Jung warned that until the unconscious is made conscious,
It will direct our lives, and we will call it fate.

What we observe in others is often the part they do not
Observe in themselves.
Observe in themselves.
Their habits reveal their hunger.
Their patterns reveal their fear.
Their silences reveal their motive.
Their patterns reveal their fear.
Their silences reveal their motive.
To witness this is not judgment.
It is understanding.
It is understanding.
Creation, truth-seeking, and clarity,
Demand awareness.
Demand awareness.
Consumption requires none.
Perhaps that is why many reach for the fruit.
Yet few ever learn the discipline of tending the roots.

Roots never lie.
