"The Released Still" by Fulton Pace

“The Released Still” is about giving up my ego to the momentary environment and the fear of ego death that comes with it. Explaining the title would cheapen my art. I fear that if I give up my will and my ego that I might cease to exist, but in the last stanza I offer the idea that maybe that is the requirement of enlightenment—the risk one must take.
