I spent ten years trying to overcome The Plateau.

I ate when I could and let go of the weight that was holding onto me.

I mapped the light passing in each moment

hoping it would reveal doors to move through it. 

I collected relics buried in the rocks

And with them I saw time unfolding.

I saw myself here many lives ago.

I saw how hard it all seemed then.

I remembered what it felt like for beginners.

And how simple it all seems now.

I walked with mindfulness, I found it easier than before. 

I learned to make peace with this place 

And I forgave it 

For the things I haven’t forgiven it for

In forever. 

I tried to do the same with myself

And the people I owed this forgiveness to. 

I returned what I took from the Plateau 

For I knew it was no longer mine to have. 

Then I looked up.

The Plateau, no longer standing as a challenge

But as a proud monument

For what I have already overcome.

And then I walked away,

Something I haven’t been able to do

In forever.

The Plateau was originally released 5 years ago. I'll be releasing an AP edition of 13 prints of the Plateau on Tuesday, January 16th at 11AM pacific time. Each print comes with a marbled poem/certificate of authenticity and a custom handheld blacklight.
