There is a community of the
spirit.
spirit.
Join it, and feel the
delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink
all your passionand be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with
the other eye. Open your hands, if you want to be held. Sit
down in this circle.
Quit acting like a wolf, and feel the shepherd's
love filling you. At night, your beloved wanders. Don't accept
consolations.Close your mouth against food. Taste the lover's mouth
in yours.
You moan, "She left me." "He left me." Twenty
more will come.
Be empty of worrying. Think who created
thought!
Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide
open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in
silence. Flow down and down in always widening rings of
being.
