Power has multiple meanings. But from Latin posse, it means “be able.” We often think of power as dominance, but surrendering is powerful too.
Knowledge is power, money is power, and there is power in the blood and power in the word. Eckhardt Tolle says there is a power in something called “now.” Norman Vincent Peale found power in positive thinking and wrote one of the top-selling self-development books ever written, The Power of Positive Thinking. Negative thinking is very powerful too. Evangelist Robert Schuller hosted a nationally televised church service from the Crystal Cathedral called The Hour of Power. Seconds and minutes are powerful too.
A quick Google search yields powerful results, book titles like: Power: Why Some People Have it and Why Some People Don’t; 48 Laws of Power; The Power of the Pussy: How to Get What you Want from Men; The Path to Power; The Power of Habit; The Anatomy of Power, and the list continues.
If power is even in the pussy, what more can be said? Power is everything, even in nothing or the esoteric like the present moment. There is power in death. Watching someone die is a powerful experience. Birth too. Nothing at all is powerful, so is silence.
Power might be one of those funny buzzwords synonymous with God – another complex word with so much meaninglessness it’s hard to keep track of. There’s power in humility and in letting go, and in dominating others. There’s power in naivety and the acknowledgment that I don’t know myself. There is power in evil and in selfishness.
Where else could power be hiding? The anus, the penis, microbes, bacteria, space? Power is posse, “be able.” If it’s even in the pussy, it hasn’t any other place to hide. There is even power in powerlessness. We’re surrounded. We’re surrounded – posse, the pussy of ability. The Power of everything.
