4248. YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW

YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW

The fact that you will 'need for nothing at all'

means riches untold and every open door open

your way. Think of possibility, think of change

and glory. Think of the best that ever was.

-

Make a passage to the open door and stop for

nothing  -  the glass from a broad storefront

window reflects another place. Just being

brings one to it, or could. Without

possibilities, we are nothing at all. 

-

I am paved over and settled with the self

of you  -  open areas like thruways run

through me : no gate, no edifice, and

no longer. The three combine to make

me unequalled and free and easy.

-

There was a mitred box by which I once

cut my boards and lumber. Now there

is not. I have thrown it all away, and

have only kept the sword by which

I cut. The shavings are the smoke

of my mind and heart. Think

of the best that ever was.
