The Radiance Sutras

Gateway 70 to the Yoga of Wonder and Delight

Sting of a wasp.
Rip of a nail.
A razor's slice.
The needle's plunge.
A piercing word.
A stab of betrayal.
The boundary crossed.
A trust broken.
In this lacerating moment,
Pain is all you know.
Life is tatooing scripture into your flesh,
Scribing incandescence in your nerves. 
Right here, 
In this single searing point
Of intolerable concentration, 
Wounds become portal.
Brokenness surrenders to 
Crystalline brilliance of Being.
