of countless petals
My soul preached to me that Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also the beloved.
Ere my soul preached to me, Love was in my heart as a tiny thread fastened between two pegs.
But now Love has become a halo whose beginning is its end, and whose end is its beginning.
It surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
My soul preached to me, my brother, and taught me much. And your soul has preached to you and taught as much to you. For you and I are one, and there is no variance between us save that I urgently declare that which is in my inner self, while you keep as a secret that which is within you. But in your secrecy there is a sort of virtue.
Yesterday we were, and today we are! That is the will of the goddess among the sons of the goddess. What is your will, oh sons of monkeys?
