Over the past ten years or more, I’ve written several instruction manuals, maps showing the way to heaven, to enlightenment.

So… Why the fuck am I not enlightened?

Umm… Hmm…

(Giggling…)

The return of the giggle
The return to truth
The return to life
Grasping the key, inserting it, turning it
Twisting the knob, and a slight push on the door
Light floods through the thin crack
Lighting the WORLD
I push the door OPEN
And REVEL in the FULLNESS
of the returning simplicity
of quiet light
