The Seed Market

 Can you find another market like this?

Where,with your one rose

you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?

Where,for one seed get a whole wilderness?

For one weak breath,a divine wind?

You've been fearful of being absorbed in the ground,

or drawn up by the air.

Now, your waterbead lets go and drops into the ocean,

where it came from.

It no longer has the form it had,

but it's still water

The essence is the same.

This giving up is not a repenting.

It's a deep honoring of yourself.

When the ocean comes to you as a lover,

marry at once, quickly,

for God's sake!

Don't postpone it!

Existence has no better gift.

No amount of searching

will find this.

A perfect falcon, for no reason

has landed on your shoulder,

and become yours.
