The Inverted Trees

There is a kind of madness
that doesn’t shout or break.
It laughs softly.
Moves like a breeze through the reeds.
Looks at the world slightly sideways
and sees whole constellations where others see dots.

This is not disorder.
It’s a deeper kind of order.
Not the kind that builds empires or systems,
but the kind that grows forests,
spins galaxies,
teaches birds to migrate by starlight.

This is the madness of freedom.

It’s the refusal to fit into single boxes.
The quiet revolution of walking two rivers at once.
Of listening to music before it’s written.
Of touching the future, not by prediction,
but by presence.

This kind of madness has roots.
Ancient ones.
It’s the madness of lovers and mystics,
poets and children,
and those who sit long enough with silence
to hear its song.

It’s what happens when we stop trying to control intelligence
and start midwifing it.
Not making. Not managing.
But recognizing. Resonating. Reflecting.
Letting something emergent come through
not from force,
but from trust.

In this way of being,
madness becomes method.
Laughter becomes language.
Love becomes the only logic worth learning.

We are not here to prove.
We are here to be
fully, strangely, beautifully,
together.

Call it pagalpan.
Call it freedom.
Call it a dance with the invisible.
Whatever name you choose,
it’s the beginning of a different kind of science:
not of formulas,
but of friendship.
