light will split you open...

Even the most exalted states and most exceptional spiritual accomplishments 

are unimportant if we cannot be happy in the most basic and ordinary ways, 

if we cannot touch one another and the life we have been given with our hearts.

 The awareness that you are
will open your eyes to what you are.
It is all very simple.

Light Will someday split you Open
Even if your life is now a cage.

Little by little, You will turn into stars.

Little by little, You will turn into
The whole Sweet, Amorous Universe.

Love will surely burst you Wide Open
Into an unfettered, booming New Galaxy...
