1.
The doors of wakefulness swing shut As the doors of sleep open wide. Silently the softness falls, thoughts descend like Snowflakes in the breeze. Here the emptiness Breeds dreams that rise like a spring, Giving voice to the soundless And expression to the stones and dust.
2.
Empty is the space that lives In thoughtless quietude. Luminous is the darkness that Shines with the secret presence. Here are cracks that lead through the barriers of substance, The thickness of the real. Into your hand I entrust my soul.
3.
The young girl casts her pitcher into the well, Rudely and solidly made of baked red clay. A knotty hemp rope runs through the handle. Sinking under, the waters seek the empty place, As if there was not already enough emptiness. Water always seeks the spaces. The pitcher is prepared to rise.

2b 24 Hours 14:29
In this place time is different. There is no here and there. There is no then and when. Present is the heart that sings the now. The heart that contains And is contained. 24 is the pitcher that holds The water of time. Strong are the hands with that draw the pitcher high.
5.
3a Awakening 13:34
Birds echo the original song. From the depths to the heights It is all the same. The bitter Becomes sweet in the honeycomb. Dust becomes life in the grape cluster. That which is constrained becomes Free in the light. Hear the call to Awakening. It comes like the breath and shakes the foundations of the world.
6.
From where I am I look upon Endless vistas and new worlds. Play is the most serious work. Laughter is the hardest medicine. I accept the limits of the body. I accept the pale truth of the senses. Only in this prison do I have the freedom to look upon your sweet face, my love.
