'O nobly born . . .'

". . . o nobly born,

when thy body and mind

were separating,

thou must have experienced

a glimpse of the Pure Truth,

subtle, sparkling, bright dazzling,

glorious, and radiantly awesome,

in appearance like a mirage

moving across a landscape

in spring-time

in one continuous

stream of vibrations.

Be not daunted thereby,

nor terrified,

nor awed.

That is the radiance

of thine own true nature.

Recognize it."

~ From The Tibetan Book of the Dead

"If you will keep my secret,

and never tell a soul,

then you may come and dance

with me on nights when the moon is whole."

From The Dancing Tiger by Malachy Doyle

........................................

Wondrous, luminous beloved friend,

may you dance with the tiger on nights

when the moon is whole,

and whenever you wish.

I wish you peaceful passage . . .
