Light in My Mouth

As I am preparing to send Sister Mysteries to the printer, I find myself writing about light.

This morning, as I meditated,
I had this sensation: light was resting on my tongue like a glowing lozenge.


I opened my mouth and chanted


(gone gone gone beyond utterly beyond)

The words lifted off my tongue
and as they did they pulled
light from
my
heart.

I love the way
occasionally
I
can
see 
light
fill
me
up.

Starting the day this way
is
just
wonderful
oh and
also
I
drank
a
cup
of
coffee.



*gate gate is the mantra at the end of the heart sutra:
