Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, had a hammer named Mjölnir. Mjölnir was considered a fierce weapon that could level mountains and summon lightning with every blow. In this poetry blog, every Thursday, (Thor’s Day), Mjölnir will forge only song - sing of the mysteries and beauties of the world.

 AMNESIA

We come into this world already 
having forgotten who we really are

and where and what we come from.
We arrive as amnesiacs 

who maintain our stuporred state 
by attaching ourselves to something called

Identity, that only deepens the depth 
of our forgetting.

The only way back to the oneness we came from 
is by forgetting again: 

by forgetting the self we’ve become, 
through all our thinking, 

by letting go of knowing anything,
and by turning ourselves over 

to an emptiness
that is everything.
