YES!

being a buddha body in that one place

is being a verb moving in grace…

balan-sing, dan-sing, re-joy-sing and more

real-eye-sing, synchroni-sing, tao-sing on the other shore

just being a buddha body in that one place for evermore…

just being a buddha body in that one place evermore…

and now, let’s turn to Hafiz for his words of wisdom on flourishing in times such as these…

What is the key
To untie the knot of your mind’s suffering?

What
Is the esoteric secret
To slay the crazed one whom each of us
Did wed

And who can ruin
Our heart’s and eye’s exquisite tender
Landscape?

Hafiz has found
Two emerald words that
Restored
Me

That I now cling to as I would sacred
Tresses of my Beloved’s
Hair:

Act great.
My dear, always act great.

What is the key
To untie the knot of the mind’s suffering?

Benevolent thought, sound
And movement.

~ Hafiz
