Daydreams of a Poet
It
is possible to take our existence as a ‘sacred world,’ to take this
place as open space rather than claustrophobic dark void. It is possible
to take a friendly relationship to our ego natures, it is possible to
appreciate the aesthetic play of forms in emptiness, and to exist in
this place like majestic kings of our own consciousness. But to do that,
we would have to give up grasping to make everything come out the way
we daydream it should.
