OUR IDEAL SESSION

If you tell me how happy you are sending
shoeboxes of toys to Romanian Gypsy
children and sharing the Good News of
their savior Jesus…
I will listen with compassion.

If you tell me how happy you are
observing a kosher kitchen and seeing
Bibi save Israel from Palestinian hordes…
I will listen with compassion.

If you tell me how happy you are
meditating toward Awareness and
believing there is no personal god but
salvation through awareness of suffering
and compassion…
I will listen with compassion.

If you tell me how happy you are dancing
naked under the Beltane moon and
knowing your spirit animal …
I will listen with compassion.

If you tell me how happy you are speaking
in tongues and being slain in the Holy
Spirit…

I will listen with compassion.

I will listen as a human who has offered
herself to the hungry tigress. The tigress
who will eat me and watch as I transform
for a time into the listening wind.
