Workshop

O friend, how many
workshops must you attend,
how many ashrams and institutes
of spiritual healing must you visit
before you learn the truth?
Every dimensionless point in space
is filled with 10 thousand suns
that you just don't see
because you're living on
all of them at once.
This is called 'consciousness.'
Now here is the final spiritual practice.
You won't need any other.
I learned it from a fat golden poodle.
When anyone approaches, friend or foe,
throw yourself on
the ground before them.
Lie on your back with a vast
empty smile and invite them
to rub your belly.
This is the only way.
