There is so much beauty in this world. Magically, you only have to look at the ridges between people’s eyes to find the sweet spot of their affection. You but have to undo a single filament of their self-consciousness, to unlock the secrets within… to have them exchanging blessings with you and delighting in your presence. You but have to underline a single element of their eblouissance in order to grasp the God-child within their souls… Repeat after me, the mantra, the waves of resounding Ommm… The harmony that exists within you and me is there for our rejoicing; come sit in the crock of my elbow and celebrate the light within you and me.
