the three marks of existence

how does the rose open its heart and give the world its beauty?

it bathes in the light

the love of the sun encouraging its blooming

you be the ground where nothing is sown and plant the seeds of love to grow

cultivate the change you seek. love is not a song sung by the weak

when in the trap of doubt

remember it's a cloud

this too shall pass and fade

impermanence to pain

what is the body but a shadow of a shadow of our love

in which the whole universe resides

there is only wind in that well

and there have always been keys in the cell

it takes compassion to confront your pain

it takes strength to be vulnerable enough to float on the rivers of shame

be ground

be crumbled

you've been stoney for too long

let wild flowers grow where you are

let your heart burst

let it explode

let wild flowers grow where you are

let your heart burst

let it explode

let wild flowers grow where you are

let your heart burst

let it explode

go
