Psalm 35.


Let the body consume the world,

incorporate it on every inhalation,

invest it, there within, with its feeling

and let it forth again, both blessed.

Let body and world commingle,

be felt as one swirling self,

and let all that is hard be softened,

dissolved in the flood of peace,

and let the lone life be surrendered,

returned to the one great pool.

See how the world, loved, is radiant,

shines with the gleam of brightened eyes.

Lovelessness, lifelessness, godlessness,

three terms for the one sad state.
