A common space for harmonic peacemakers
This soul comes once,
This soul comes once,
the body a thousand times.
I am everything,
coming in, going out.
How can I speak of another?
Like a wave my body is here and gone.
Look closely -
a million waves,
one sea.
The soul comes once,
this body a thousand times.
Why talk of the soul? Why mention the body when both are myself?
With much effort I have stayed on this path,
and now this body
finds a great soul within it.
