The Enlightened Heart

“Center of all centers, core of cores

almond self enclosed and growing sweet

all this universe, to the farthest stars

and beyond them is your flesh, your fruit

Now you feel how nothing clings to you

Your vast shell reaches into endless space 

and there the thick rich fluids, rise and flow

Illuminated in your infinite peace …”

-Rainer Maria Rilke
