Lying Down in Reality

Lying Down In Reality

I’m a keeper of sheep.

The sheep are my thoughts

And each thought a sensation.

I think with my eyes and my ears

And with my hands and feet

And with my nose and mouth.

To think a flower is to see and smell it,

And to eat a fruit is to know its meaning.

That is why on a hot day

When I enjoy it so much I feel sad,

And I lie down in the grass

And close my warm eyes,

Then I feel my whole body

lying down in reality,

I know the truth, and I’m happy.
