It's difficult to enter
the silence that envelops everything.
Yet, to become truly yourself,
you must rebel against
the need to know.
Meditate and see yourself with diamond eyes -
strong, sharp, and clear.
Control nothing.
Learn each inch of yourself:
flesh, bone, blood, joy,
desire, despair.
Then know others are just the same.
What turns your body into light?
What turns your life into love?
Find it and use it.
Use it unabashedly,
recklessly, radically
with your total being.
Use your life for others.
Go on.
Use it.
And then,
in place of why,
true knowing arises.
