MERU

Cross the river,

climb the mountain,

adorn your head with flowers.

His abode is high above the ground

as well as here...

where the belly button of the world stands

where the navel of all worlds rises.

Wrapped up in eternity's tiger skin

to keep me warm in the freezing

Himalayan winter

I'm no longer shivering.

Shivaring now.

No penance, only you.

The name is the key as well as the lock.

Just like breath,

just like the blink of an eye,

a heartbeat... just like this.
