She asked the road
if she might
drive upon it,
seeing all things
as divine form -
luminous dance
of interrelatedness.

Let us also
bow to each
empty appearance
of endless divinity
with gratitude
humility
recognition.

Evening Prayer

Mother Tara,
All-embracing Protectress,
Envelop me.
Enclose me in your womb.
Draw from me all
Hatred, arrogance and greed.
Spin my ignorance
Into Wisdom Gold.
Then -
Lotus opening -
Birth Buddha.
