~ Secret Language ~
English version by Coleman Barks
Every part of you has a secret language
your hands and your feet
say what you’ve done
and every need brings in what’s needed
pain bears its cure like a child
your hands and your feet
say what you’ve done
and every need brings in what’s needed
pain bears its cure like a child
Your pain "bears its cure like a child", because
the cure is the pain.
Jesus said, "If you bring forth what is within you,
what you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is
within you, what you do not bring forth
will destroy you."
--The Gospel of Thomas
There is no place to go, no master to seek, no medicine to find. The untruth, or ignorance, is that you are separate from the world. This separate "I" is seeking answers. Ask yourself: What cure am I bearing? The truth is that you already have the answers. Allow the "you" that is material-istic to step aside and invite the you that is inner space to present itself. Don't know how? Be still. Come rest your feet and your hands. Let's listen to what is here.
