Reading the old monks daily meditations:
They were making maps, these monks
Into an inner space where we knew ourselves and one another better
(that is, in Love)
.
Silence was the door, for them to find their tones of lines on the map
they were making for us;
but the noise of banquet was inside and implied by their lines–
Confetti and grief, suffering and relief,
where life might lead us to.
Once we GPS-ed the map, we all wanted to go
To the great party within-
To dance and suffer well together!
My Friend.
Thanks for those cartographers of the soul
And, for the maps they left us to know by.
