Peace isn\u2019t luck.
\nFor six years stand facing a silent wall,
\nUntil the \u2018you\u2019 of your face,
\nMelts like a candle.<\/p>\n
Ikkyu<\/p>\n
The \u201cyou\u201d of my face has never melted like a candle.
\nI\u2019ve never become ONE with the universe.
\nBut my heart has melted a number of times
\nwhen I fell in love with the one, a new love.<\/p>\n
That said, I know what Ikkyu is meaning.
\nYour little self melts into the bigger Self
\nand your mind is blown beyond the
\ndualities into the eternal ONENESS.<\/p>\n
And the way he is describing is the Zen
\nZazen where you Zen meditate earnestly
\nwith the goal of melting into the cosmos.<\/p>\n
And the melting reminds me of a song where
\na singer sings elatedly that he\u2019s going
\nto melt with a woman.<\/p>\n
Now that may sound sexual, but I like
\nthinking about it romantically like the \u201cyou\u201d
\nof your heart melting with the \u201cyou\u201d of
\nher heart \u2013 heart to heart romantically
\nunited in the euphoria, the incomparable
\necstasy of high-flying, airborne true love.<\/p>\n
