4:42 A.M.

The most auspicious time to meditate

is now.

The most powerful mantra

is the silence at the end

of this breath.

The most fragrant offering to lay

on the altar of your heartbeat

(to whom, to whom?)

is the solidified energy

of your fear and sorrow.

The most blessed

form of God

is the polished diamond

between your eyebrows.

Galaxies, earth, stars,

moons, rivers, valleys,

creatures luminous, furry, or green

burst from this tiny

sparkling dot

which never sleeps

and whose light has

no circumference.

Of what is this radiance composed?

What grail can contain the beauty

of this unfathomable

liquid jewel?

You fell in love 

10,000 years ago

(with whom, with whom?)

Dear friend, if you really believe

that you are an Other,

come here and drink

what I Am.
