The Audacity to BE Robin: A tribute to Robin Williams
Robin Williams is HOME
In his own TRUE consciousness
Committed suicide they said
Totally misunderstanding his role
Of EXPOSURE
Exposing the lack of compassion, love and understanding
Of the alien within each of us
Rich in depth and clarity of BEing SOUL
Capturing and wildly expressing
The TRUE soul
The OPEN soul
The ONENESS of soul
That links to our REAL
INNATE way of Being
Overflowing with courage and creativity
Wandering into the depths of the rabbit hole
Publicly
And burrowing further down to the core
Of the HEART
Of the divinity
Of the ONE
The true wise un-contained shaman of modern times
Allowing us all to venture beyond
Our limits
Society’s limits
Boundaries artificially shored by laughter and smile
He was the blue genie in the bottle
Granting wishes of freedom
To BE who you unashamedly are
No matter what others think, say
And bully
We cracked up with him
In our minds, our hearts, and our souls
As he blew away the remnants of the misuse of power
The false masks of politician and private citizen alike
That no longer serve the whole
So substantially embodying the
Sacred masculine of strength, right use of power, and protection
The divine feminine of compassion, nourishment of all, and mother love
Giving birth to inner and outer FREEDOM
Mirroring the joy and passion of the animals
He could BECOME one
In an instant
With a body movement, a hand gesture, a facial expression
A sound
The trumpet of an elephant
The flight of a bird
The hiss of cat
The warmth and pleasure of a canine
The pure joy of the dolphins
Catering to the awesome innocence of the child
That still resides in all of US
He cared too much for public and private pain
For he recognized the consequences of separation
The lonely state
Bereft of love
Perhaps for himself
Perhaps for all
Only he knows
Only he can judge how it FEELS now
In my mind and heart
He was not the crazy one
We, who do not integrate the feelings
Accepting the whole of us
ARE
