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
.here 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
