Oh to go down from the blissful peak and rejoice at the wildflowers
The blessed glacier water
The frozen corpses
The wild goats
The hogs
The vipers
The vultures
The hyenas
Does the goat rejoice at the smell of the wildflowers?
Does the hyena rejoice at the smell of a goat? Does the flower?
Does the hyena rejoice at the smell of a goat in putrefaction? Does the flower?
Rejoicing at all of them is embodying life and love.
Bacchus told me to rejoice at everything.
"Even at suffering?" I asked Him perplexed.
"What do you mean 'even'?" was His answer.
"Even at Death?" I asked Him perplexed.
"Laugh with her." was His answer.
He laughed and beat me with a stick.
"Rejoice now! For your own good! For the good of all others. Rejoice now, for you are you but also them!"
And suddenly I was enlightened.
