"Invincible
Goddess of the White Parasol"
Which protects
all from harm.
Her major arms
carry the discus and lasso.
The rest hold the
sword, umbrella,
Bow, arrow, bell
and thunderbolt.
I used to live in fear
That at some point I'd become
So cosmically wonderful
I'd lose all interest
In everything I value now.
A man's life is written
Never in the name of heaven
Nor in his hell.
Worship is a substitute for
doing.
Belief is a substitute for
knowing.
Prayer is a substitute for
being.
Sometimes I receive
Or manifest beautiful images
I despair of painting or
writing down
Like a lady all in purple
with a shawl
And blue umbrella. |
