. . . I close my mouth
in hopes you'll open yours.

Close both eyes
to see with the Other Eye.

Open your hands
if you want to be held. . .

Quit acting like a wolf, and feel
the Shepherd's Love filling you. . .

You moan, "But she left me. He left me."
Twenty more will come.

Be empty of worrying.
Think of Who created Thought!

Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?

To the intellectual mind, a child must learn
to grow up and be adult.
In the station of love,
you see old men getting younger and younger.

Stay here, quivering with each moment
like a drop of mercury.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Help someone's soul heal.
Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

Stay in the spiritual fire.
Let it cook you.

Be a well-baked loaf
and lord of the table.

Come and be served
to your brothers.

You have been a source of pain.
Now you'll be the delight.

You have been an unsafe house.
Now you'll be the one
who sees into the Invisible.
