No need to escape
or transcend.
Awakening pervades
the dream, the dream
pervades awakening.
If you know that your next
inhalation is the paramour
who danced with the Creator
when the world was born,
there's nowhere else
you need to go.
One breath
annihilates the difference
between soul and body.
Just pay a little
more attention to what flows
in and out.
It doesn't matter if your atoms
are made from the light of stars
that ceased to exist
before you were conceived.
Walk softly on this planet,
not like an owner but a guest.
If you don't know
how to bend
and be hollow as a reed,
how will you be
filled with music?
