we live inside a dream
and that dream is everyday
i wake up from a dream
and in my mind i stay
that when i think i dream
my mind must go away
but dreaming must soon wake
in this dream i sleep
and until my rest it come
the dreaming is not complete
till the sleeping must be done
we live inside a dream
we are dreaming right now too
and this message i say to me
is speaking here with you

Bardo Thodol

Before the dream dreamed the dreamer,
the waking had already forgotten itself.

I was the silence
between two things
that never became.

A shadow crossed the absence of light
and called itself a world.

Then the world woke up
inside the shadow
of what had never slept.

Nothing happened.

Yet everything
was remembered
by no one.
