<strong>Conversations</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Avant</strong>-<strong>garde</strong> <strong>Sages</strong><br />

embracing you tenderly<br />

for all Eternity.<br />

And it's really dedicated to all friends, everybody.<br />

WIZARD: That is beautiful.<br />

MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: I'm just so grateful for every single<br />

person.<br />

WIZARD: That's a very powerful affirmation.<br />

MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: Thank you.<br />

TRIP: In <strong>The</strong> Open Heart, one of your poems, you say, "<strong>The</strong> fully<br />

open heart rests in sweet unknowingness, safe in its own<br />

embrace". And I feel that you're a person that has a truly open<br />

heart. I was wondering if you could talk about how the neediness<br />

that maybe you felt, that I certainly have felt how that dissolves in<br />

an open heart? What's the outcome there, can you talk about that?<br />

MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: Yes. I think, dear Trip that <strong>with</strong> an<br />

open heart comes certain fullness automatically. I think the<br />

neediness stems from a false sense of lack, and that lack is<br />

automatically, when there's complete openness, and when things<br />

fall into place pretty much effortless, and one realizes one's never<br />

alone, and one's provided for by grace, and when one is able to<br />

jump off that cliff and trust that, and have just that Faith, <strong>with</strong>out<br />

needing to know anything mentally, but just have that Faith,<br />

retain that heart open, no matter how many times it was wounded,<br />

no matter how many times it was many times seen as stabbed n<br />

the back or betrayed. But I think in that openness there's a gift of<br />

fullness, and of everything being complete, the kingdom is finished<br />

already. And <strong>with</strong> that there's just no need, what could be better<br />

than that?<br />
