Thro a glass darkly

Urthe is a reflection of Haven
and as in all reflections
things are reversed
.
Bliss appears as suffering
to enlightend consciousness
Pain feels like ecstasy
.
The saint does not liberate himself from pain

He liberates pain itself
.
The saint does not liberate himself from the world

He liberates himself from illusions about the world
.
Thus he is able to experience the world
more completely       more fully
more integrally
than most other men
.
We must suffer not only earth
and hateful mothers fathers
but the hole damned
cycle of samsara
.
All time and all space

Crowns of light and darkness
.
All glistening things
jewels gems stones metals
are glittering reflections
