Your Compassion surrounds me
kind arms around Wisdom
finally free from desire and sense

how can a Bodhisattva
embrace both compassion and wisdom?

ILLUMINATA
I want that crown.
That one. In the middle,
right above the eight-armed
Avalokiteshvara of gilded
bronze with blue paint.
I want that crown.
I want the divine light
to paint my thoughts
with the blue of wisdom,
with the gold of compassion.
I want my eyes to sparkle
with the jewel hues
of enlightenment.
I want to soar in the song
of the mountain peaks,
breathe their rarefied air.
I want that crown.
