Walk Softy



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?
