Soft Enough

Become soft enough for the

World to penetrate you,

Your eyes, ears, tongue and

Heart.

Spread open the legs of your

Mind and

Let the stream of this changing world

Impregnate you with its pain and longing.

Do not turn anyone or anything away.

Undress the heart,

Piece by piece,

Until even the deer across the

Meadow can leap

Inside

And be included.
