An epitome

Breathe in,
In an orchard of fig trees, there is a golden tree, beneath which lies a box, wherein resides the world. Pluck the box from dark brown loam and reverently lift the lid, then brush away fine dust and behold a world in a box and a box in a world.
and breathe out.

Breathe in,
In a clearing in the deepest rainforests of the Amazon, there is an exquisitely carved white marble fountain. In the centre, a glass flower throws jets of water into the air, which reach the limit of sky and become clouds. Drink deeply from these intoxicating waters and experience momentary truth.
and breathe out.

Breathe in,
On an uninhabited island, beside the clear blue waters of a perfect summer ocean, there is a majestic white beach. Step from the comforting wombwarmth of the ocean onto the puregrained beach. Listen as the sunbleached sunbeaten sand burns the soles of your feet, then lie back in quiet contemplation.
and breathe out.

Breathe in,
In a verdant field of luscious grass, there stands a lone closed doorway without walls to the left or to the right. Put your eye to the keyhole and, once accustomed to the blinding light, behold the contents. Then carefully open the door, take a confident step and embrace oneness.
and be sure to close the door behind you as you breathe out.
