Simplify. Clarify. Vivify.

      * * *

Surprise your eyes. Break your heart open.

      * * *

Look out! Here comes the Imperishable Light!
Accept no substitutes.

      * * *

A cucumber shouldn't try to be a tomato.

      * * *

Don't argue or mock. Unfurl like a rose.

      * * *

Dose all your ills with laughter.

      * * *

Collapse categories.
Go beyond! Go beyond!

      * * *

We are all participants in the marvelous.
