“Beloved, tell me, how do I enter more deeply into the reality of the universe?
Response 123:
All this talk of purity and
impurity,
These are just opinions. Beyond
them
Are the miraculous energies of
creation.
Rays of light from a trillion suns
Illumine the altar of your sky.
Rolling blue-green oceans
Sanctify the air you breathe.
In this moment, you are inhal-
ing their blessing,
Who are you to call any of this
pure or impure?
Find the center around which
everything revolves –
Stand here and be flooded with
joy.
