Passing through dark fires.
I have risen to a body Not yet born,
Existing like a light around the body,
Through which the body moves like a sliding moon.

Don't go outside your house to see flowers. My friend, don't bother with that excursion. Inside your body there are flowers. One flower has a thousand petals. That will do for a place to sit. Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty inside the body and out of it, before gardens and after gardens.

Robert Bly
