Walking the Wall

you ever lain on your back in a pool of water late at night? The water
is up over your ears and the only thing in your vision is the black
night and the pin prick light of the stars. The only thing you can hear
is the amplified beating of your heart, your breathing, and the
sloshing of the water as you slowly move your arms. If you let reality
slip away just a little bit, you’ll get the feeling of swimming in an
ocean of stars and the pool and your surroundings will just drop away
and you’ll hang suspended in space.

When you cross that bridge to the other
world, open the door and step through
step through the stars, swim through
the Milky Way,
touch the very boundaries of the universe

and then…it
is the Age of Awakening

(from The Dance of Shiva by Paresh)
