The Saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
That the Saint is now continually
Tripping over joy
And Bursting out in Laughter
And saying, "I Surrender!"
Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.

my future enlightened Self
anyone who has dived the depths and bubbled up to the surface
someone with the capacity for love and energetic integrity to make this type of triangle with me
( ( ( hey, my birthday's coming, I want to be as clear and precise as possible ) ) )
someone who can train my ear
and you
