The Sphinx

a poem

hiking a hike called the sphinx I wondered why this name til I saw him walked right under him

often I don’t see what’s right in front of me hiding in plain sight

the sphinx of the rocks enigmatic making riddles for us to decode symbolizing mystery

part animal, part man union of opposites upper and lower feminine and masculine conscious and subconscious duality joined

he’s a trickster trying to show us something everything and nothing all at once

when he tricks the mind gets trapped the mind gets silenced and then becomes free

this is how we learn this is how we grow by letting go of our mind

all this I pondered all this I wondered as I hiked the hike of the sphinx
