• No Temple made by mortal human hands can ever compare to the Temple made by the gods themselves. That building of wood and stone that houses us and that many believe conceals the great Secret Temple from prying eyes, somewhere in its heart of hearts, is but a decoy for the masses who need this simple concrete limited thing in their lives. The real Temple is the whole world, and there is nothing as divinely blessed as a blooming growing garden.

• There is a wonderful place
  where flowers grow in colors
  beyond the words of poets...
  trees sing with the
  songs of butterflies.
  And mythical tigresses look
  at you with fiery golden eyes...
  open your heart
  and feel the colors of magic
  blooming inside you.

• Silently a flower blooms,
  In silence it falls away;
  Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
  The world of the flower, the whole of
  the world is blooming.
  This is the talk of the flower, the truth
  of the blossom;
  The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.

  With everything blooming above me,

  Crawling on all fours,
  Alive, in a slippery grave.
