Join it, and feel the delight
Of walking in the noisy street,
And being the noise
Drink all your passion.
And 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.
Quite acting like a wolf, and feel
The shepard's love filling you.
At night, your beloved wonders.
Don't accept consolations.
Close your mouth against food.
Taste the lovers 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."
