BELOW THE SURFACE: Some thoughts about transcendence and compassion

	No mercy of the billows appears on the surface:
	it's brutal when looking at rock & sand

	To know compassion we must go deeper
	& discover currents far from land

	In waters deeper than we've fathomed
	& currents stronger than we've seen
	we must learn the art of diving
	& explore the depths of being

	Bathe in the waters which gave you birth!
	Be free of terra firma
	& land-based notions of worth!

	Cleanse yourself of terrestrial ideologies
	& in waters which sparkled
	long before humans emerged
	find clarity


Jules: 	 You know, this almost makes sense.

Ellesha: Good - that's a sign it's time ta move onto something new . . .
