This Too Will Be
You can probably tell
From my vibes
I see the reality in my dream
Collapsing
And there is something interesting
About the space that opens
Maybe you can see that too
It feels alive
Maybe more alive than it usually was
It almost has a face
And you can feel it
You can almost touch it
With your finger
Will it laugh when you do?
It may laugh
And you will recognize yourself in it
Even though
It is me
And if all that will be left
After everything else had gone
Are these three little birds on a line
This too will be
An expression of love.
I used to be a graphic designer and an illustrator. I became involved with the Chan Meditation Center and studied meditation and Buddhist knowledge with the late Master Sheng-yen from Taiwan. For twelve years I was in a process of deepening my meditation. I had many more experiences and insights and my life changed. After having illustrated more than 40 children’s books and writing two of them, I left this career too and went to New York University to study art therapy.
