Contemplations on no coming, no-going<\/span>
\nThis body is not me,<\/span>
\nI am not limited by this body.<\/span><\/h3>\n

I am life without boundaries.<\/span>
\nI have never been born,<\/span>
\nand I have never died.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,<\/span>
\nManifestations from my wondrous true mind.<\/span>
\nSince before time, I have been free.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,<\/span>
\nsacred thresholds on our journey.<\/span>
\nBirth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.<\/span><\/h3>\n

So laugh with me,<\/span>
\nhold my hand,<\/span>
\nlet us say good-bye,<\/span>
\nsay good-bye, to meet again soon.<\/span><\/h3>\n

We meet today,<\/span>
\nWe will meet again tomorrow.<\/span>
\nWe will meet at the source every moment.<\/span>
\nWe meet each other in all forms of life.<\/span><\/h3>\n
