Sun Beams and Star Beams —
Here is the ground of the inconceivable —
The moment that is most wonderful!
Where words are swept away from my path —
So I can walk on much more freely.
And the magic that I thought was lost —
Still shines in each moment of life...
Shattering jaded layers of perceptions
So statues can rise and smile.
So my frozen world of concepts is thawed
And compassion and kindness can shine like sunlight.
So we all can wake up from our deep slumber…
And greet each other –
Not as fearful strangers
But as miracles and wonders of life.
As sun beams and star beams,
As sacred human beings.
