Poem<br />
There is no pigment in the paint.<br />
There are no bristles in the brush.<br />
There is no hand.<br />
There is no lid or lens<br />
or retina in the eye.<br />
And all the same,<br />
the painting you have come to see<br />
can see the forms and colors<br />
that you are, which are<br />
the world's forms and colors<br />
in your size. The silence<br />
you have come to see<br />
can see you breathe; the breath you breathe<br />
can hear the painted man in whom<br />
this painted voice is speaking.<br />
VI<br />
Everything that is is the foundation <strong>of</strong> the mind.<br />
Everything that is is root and stem<br />
and fruit and flower,<br />
head and tail, back and belly, belly and bum.<br />
Everything that is is every<br />
time that ever was<br />
or is or will be and is<br />
passing through the heart between your hands.<br />
