I.

How to become an impossible matrix
How to dance on over
the impossible barriers
How to electrify
the gap in self-knowing
To become a vibrant lantern,
an oasis of calm revelation



II.

I would like the forest in my heart
I would like to uncover the peace
embedded in its subtle sounds
Bird calls and wind through leaves

Reminding me that the world
is not always
what people make it out to be



III.

The pattern that gets uncovered is part
of a life-long principle:
do not move into the payment phase
until you have seen results

Wait until you see
how well it has been cooked,
whether the seasoning is balanced
whether the flavors clash

Wait until you taste the moment
before you pass any judgment
Let it fall upon you
Like a cloak of sky




IV.

Do not wait for the earth to carry you forth
Rather, begin to stride in the direction
your heart leads

Do not cover your windows with complaints
Rather, keep them clear, open even,
to the fresh breeze

Do not expect the world to uncover for you
what only you can see
in the depths of your heart-chambers

Your secrets, your fears and hopes
cannot be buried, and cannot be answered
by anything outside



V.

Everything is in motion
life uncovers itself
develops namelessly

Only we ask questions
where there is no answer

Oh, but what we find
in the questions
