Something breaks and falls away, and all is light. Nothing has changed, yet all is amazing, luminescent, free. Released at last, I rise into the sky … This dream comes often. Sometimes I run, then lift up like a kite, high above earth, and always I sail transcendent for a time before awaking. I choose to awake, for fear of falling, yet such dreams tell me that I am a part of things, if only I would let go, and keep on going. "Do not be heavy," Soen Roshi says. "Be light, light, light – full of light!" Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard Soen Roshi was a Taiwanese-born, Zen Buddhist master in the Rinzai tradition. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
