You are the Sun.
The Sun doesn't move.
This is what it does.
You are the Earth.
The Earth is here for a start...
And the Earth moves around the Sun.
And now...
We'll have an explanation that simple folks like us
can also understand about immortality.
All I ask is that you step with me
into the boundlessness
where constancy, quietude and peace,
infinite emptiness reign.
And just imagine that
in this infinite sonorous silence
everywhere is an impenetrable darkness.

We'll have an explanation that simple folks like us

All I ask is that you step with me

where constancy, quietude and peace,
infinite emptiness reign.
And just imagine that
in this infinite sonorous silence
everywhere is an impenetrable darkness.
Today is a good day.
