Song of the Primordial; Where It All Began.

Tat Tvam Asi — You Are That

In the hush between heartbeats,
Before the world begins its name-calling again,
I return
to the still point within —
not a place, but a knowing.

I have walked deserts, coastlines, ship decks,
carried sketchbooks like sacred scrolls,
and tasted the breath of silence
In mountain winds and factory fumes alike.

I have worn many masks—
artist, father, dreamer, wanderer—
Yet none were mine.
They burned away
in the fire of awakening.

And there, naked of roles,
free of shame,
no longer even I—
I heard it:

Tat Tvam Asi.
You are That.
The light behind the eyelids.
The watcher of the dream.
The silence before thought.
The witness of the stars within.

Not a drop in the ocean—
But the ocean is a drop.
Not a body moving through time—
But time unfolds through you.

So I bow
to the child painting in mud,
to the old man weeping in prayer,
to the crow crying over the mangrove,
To my twin brother, I cannot forgive.

For all is That.
And That I Am.
