O traveler, if you are in search
Of that which brings bliss
Experience will bring you not to the soul
But mirror neurons grasp like gems
The glistening of energy
pure and simple, listen for the voice
that brought you here, to this world
don’t look outside, look inside –
look inside every face to feel it
look in every country to discover it –
the soul of nations, the art of history
the springtime of the spirit
Is not for lovers, but for lovers of God
that sea which is full of pearls
those stars that are stones of light
like rubies, where the soul is whole
in emptiness and simplicity
O traveler, if you are in search
for that which is the home of unity –
drink water, as the first salt
and kiss your wife, as the setting sun
the proclamation of heaven comes in many forms
do not be afraid to lose anything
when everything can be gained
at the lips and horizons of your soul
it is a fountain made of tender transparency
a soul-force whose cry echoes in all creatures.
