fungal wisdom :

الحقيقة ليست حقيقية

Translation:
“Truth is not real.
Reality is not true.”

_____________________

I was upside down,
searching for a new point of view.

“Truth is not real.
Reality is not true.”
This is how a mushroom spoke to me.

Then it pointed, softly —
to day and night,
to sun and moon,
to the skies and myself.

It showed me how all forms intertwine,
how everything resembles something else,
how all is mixed together
in a delicious illusion —
an illusion that is very true.
