Her Door is Always Open

Her door is always open. The power of yoga. Invincible. Ineffable. OMG(oddess)! Ever-healing, ever-awakening. Mysteries emptying out into mysteries. Ever-allowing, ever-inviting. OMG(oddess)! Rivers of amber. Seas of opal. Do you understand?

Exhale the finite, inhale the infinite; exhale the infinite, inhale the finite. Oh, yes, and the in between. Where ceaseless motion and utter stillness become lost within each other. OMG(oddess)! Her door is always open. Dawn at midnight. Midnight at noon. Endlessness. Do you understand? 

Storm raging. Sun blazing. Simultaneity. Do you understand?

Ever-leading, ever-listening, ever-learning. OMG(oddess)! Her door is always open. So grateful for all those who fearlessly unroll their mats of fire. So grateful for all those who led the way into the transformational flames. OMG(oddess)! The great serpent blossoms, the great lotus coils.

Do you understand? Her door is always open. Yes, the power of yoga. Indomitable. Inexhaustible. Mysteries emptying out into mysteries. Oh Yoga. Goddess! 

Dear Messirs Higgs-Boson, when you find that "God Particle," I want you to split it open, and look "inside." You will behold a Goddess dancing madly. And if you attempt to split her in two, you will find yourself transformed into a doe drinking spring water from the palm of a blue-skinned shepherd boy who is in turn held in the palm of one of the eight hands of the madly dancing Goddess you attempted to split in two. And you will wonder if you were always the doe, or were you once the physicist. But you will soon lose interest in the answer to that question, and will want only to go deeper into the sublime unknowing that has risen up to engulf you. 

OMG(oddess)! The power of yoga. Invincible. Ineffable. Do you understand? 

Her door is always open.
