Put your mind
in a place where it will dream,
let it be a wide open space

You will have, after all,
all the freedom you give yourself,
you will be able to get around
the things you stumbled on before

Let your dreams be teachers —
Even if you don’t remember
where you were,
you may be able to bring back
a way of understanding,
you may bring back
the potent calm you walked in.
