A parade marched through the town.
Everywhere was music: LOUD dancing and singing brass bands playing and kettle drums boom budda boom budda boom. Multi-colored lanterns exquisitely bright and beautiful designed and made with magical hands sewing magical threads onto magical bits of nothing and oh, those play people designed to look like others riding busy bicycles some with real wheels some with imaginary ones how on earth will we know which ones can be ridden somewhere in particular and which ones are just for fun? laughing out loud at their bright beauty and streams of thinking flow: Hey, I've got nowhere to go anyway! I'll take three candy apples oh, and one with caramel and that silly hat there and the electric blue one the one with the made-up wheels rainbow crepe-paper and hibiscus tucked in the spider-web spokes and ride off up to the moon like the kid in ET. --dedicated to Chantelle Rytter, with love and appreciation for your magic

The invitation is to leave it alone. To let life be. To know yourself as being lived. That is what is happening here. Life is alive as you, through your breath, through your being. Don't look for it elsewhere. It does you and undoes you, over and over again. You are not the doer. Stop claiming that you are, and your relentless despair of knowing you are not, will dissolve. The belief in the doer, is what deadens you, and crushes your heart. And yet you fear death. The only death you will ever know is this lifeless longing. Question these beliefs, awaken from them, and live it out loud. Then you will know yourself as boundless life, as freedom, and your body will age and die fully alive, without regret, endlessly beautiful.
