PART II

The Gracefulness of Death

Become Me

I was borne in my Mother’s womb

but she did not create me

I eat the salt of this Earth

but I do not belong to her

It is through this body that I walk

but I am not it

It is my mind through which I work

but it could not contain me

In the limitations of time and space I live

but it has not denied me unboundedness

I was born like you, I eat like you,

sleep like you and I will die like you

but the limited has not limited me

Life’s bondages have not bound me

As the dance of life progresses

this space, this unboundedness has become

unbearably sweet

Become love and reach out

Become me
