If All You Can Do

Today I'm Out Wandering, Turning My Skull Into A Cup For Others To Drink Wine From. In This Town Somewhere There Sits A Calm, Intelligent Man, Who Doesn't Know What He's About To Do!

At Night, I Open The Window And Ask The Moon To Come And Press Its Face Against Mine. Breathe Into Me. Close The Language-door And Open The Love-window. The Moon Won't Use The Door, Only The Window.

If You Have No Eyes, Do Not Walk Blindly; Take A Staff In Your Hand. If You Have No Staff Of Insight, Do Not Walk Without A Guide.

People Are Distracted By Objects Of Desire, And Afterward Repent Of The Lust They've Indulged, Because They Have Indulged With A Phantom And Are Left Even Farther From Reality Than Before.

If The Spiritual Universe And The Way To It Were Shown, No One Would Remain In This World For A Single Moment.
