Meditation 4. Have You Ever Been Intimate With a Fly?

Have you ever melted to the touch of a fly

as it caressed your cheek,

picked your nose,

and savoured the moisture in the corner creases of your lips?

Have you ever welcomed a fly buzzing at your ear orifice,

and let it guide you into the delicacy of the present moment?

Have you ever quietly opened to a fly's fascination for you,

and let go into its tender touch?

Have you ever recognized your fly as the gatekeeper to Shambhala,

and blindly followed it home to God?

Try it sometime. 

A fly is the most intimate of lovers.
