Slanted rays
\npiercing;
\nThat small round effigy of a sun
\nappears,
\nreappears;
\nmoves with the sun,
\ntracing a
\npath across a
\ndarkened room,
\ntracing time against
\na backdrop of
\na darkened room;
\ntracing the
\nlife
\nof all that can
\nbe across a darkened room.<\/p>\n
The life of all that can be:
\nlittle more than small
\nwhite point of Light,
\ntraversing a darkened
\nuniverse;
\ntraversing and tracing
\ntime,
\nas though
\ntime were nought
\nbut the function
\nof the life that
\ntraces it.<\/p>\n
Shafted white,
\nilluminating
\ndust,
\nilluminating all
\nin it’s path,
\ncrossing all
\nthings in it’s path,
\nrecording all
\nin it’s path,
\nwhich already
\nand always are
\npart of its path.
\nThat shaft of white,
\nthe light piercing
\ndarkness of
\nan empty room, <\/p>\n
The Light piercing
\ndarkness of an
\nempty life
\nare both to be
\nfound, and realized
\nand experienced for
\nboth are there
\nto be found and
\nexperienced for
\nboth are there.<\/p>\n
This Light;
\nthis dark;
\nhow can there be dark
\nwithout Light,
\nor light without dark?
\nTo take away Light is
\nto take away dark also,
\nfor both the Light and the dark
\nhave been made necessary:
\nlight cannot be Light without the
\ndarkness that makes Light light.<\/p>\n
In a perfect void there
\nis and can be
\nno Light or dark;
\nLight in perfection cannot be
\nas light would seem.
\nThen and then<\/p>\n
only, in that void is there
\nPerfection.
\nPerfection transcends the darkness
\nof knowledge and the Light
\nof wisdom;
\ntranscends the darkness of
\nignorance and the
\nlight of knowledge;
\nthe darkness of desire
\nand Light of will;
\nTranscends the darkness
\nof Light and the
\nLight of desire.
\nPerfection transcends
\nthe perfect,
\nas only perfection
\nmay be found
\nwithout
\nLight or darkness.<\/p>\n
Through empty room
\nthat piercing shaft of
\nlight moves;
\nbut an empty room is not
\na void,
\ncannot approach perfection,
\nas empty life is
\nnot devoid of perfection
\nbut is not perfection
\nand cannot be perfect.<\/p>\n
The empty room of this life,
\nmeager in its illumination,
\nallows only that looked
\nfor to be seen,
\nand only that seen
\nto be known.
\nonly that known
\nexperienced.<\/p>\n
We must see the Light
\nby which the room
\nmay be illuminated;
\nThe Light traversing the
\nrooms of the universe;
\nThe Light that can light
\nthe way:
\nThe Light that is the
\nway to
\ntranscend
\nthe Light, the dark,
\nthe person,
\nand all darkened rooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
