The home we seek is in eternity;
The Truth we seek is like a shoreless sea,
Of which your paradise is but a drop.
This ocean can be yours; why should you stop,
Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?
The secrets of the sun are yours, but you
Content yourself with motes trapped in its beams.
Turn to what truly lives, reject what seems —
Which matters more, the body or the soul?
Be whole: desire & journey to the Whole.

"The shadow seeks union with the sun / but cannot achieve it. / It is clearly impossible, / yet the shadow thinks of nothing else."

"In truth, I prefer the B of blasphemy
to the B of blind belief, and the P of pantheism
to the P of philosophy, for when infidelity
and ignorance are exposed, you can walk around them,
giving them wide berth;
but when slippery belief waylays you
and philosophy ensnares you in its whats and whys,
it plunders your intuitive knowledge, even if you are wise."
