meditation
 
 
 
 
 

Sit still and disengage normal activities.
Draw energy from the earth,
Admit power from the heavens.
Fertilize the seed within;
Let it sprout into a flower of pure light,
And let brightness open the top of your head;
Divine light will come pouring in.
Your mind is empty,
Light seeps into your whole body.
Sitting cross-legged, with hands clasped,
As if trying to embrace the brilliant flood,
Your skin turns transparent.
How can a bag of skin hold divine magnitude?
Your last vestiges burn away in a torrent
     of infinity.

Only after indeterminate time do you return.
Flesh, blood, bone.
Were you gone? Or were you never here in
     the first place?
Where is the torrent?
It is not gone;
You've only closed to it once more.

(  '? note: I must share a quick note with you here.  I had a file with the name "alan chen" on it that was in a larger file of "Chinese Art." Today I decided to wander the net to find something new.  When I saw this work, I was thrilled and began to check for names, email, copyright, etc.  I started to download the image and my computer asked me if I wanted to replace the new "alan chen" file with the older version.  I had no idea that the "mystery file" that has kept my curiosity smiling was going to bring such luck!  Enjoy Mr. Chen's works, he has a great and varied portfolio !
