A Moonlit Veil
An invitation
To be humiliated
An invitation
To be where your feet are
An invitation
To be seen and see
An invitation
To look again
With no head
The world
Not just for humans
Matter continuously passing through the universe
Nature is an event that never stops
Boundaries between individualities disappearing
Interconnected
You are the mountains and the moon
An invitation
To seek your own disappearance
Let it come
Let it go
Begin
Again
