and in aversion weeds spread.

Closed out the old year
And held a dream of spring behind
My shut eyes…til now
This morning I opened them to see
It’s really come into the world.

To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion.
That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening.
