Pain can leave you alone in a thick fog
the clog and sod of the mind
a place of no returning
face to face with mortality,
All mortality, the end of the World
the falling of all veils.

Pain can free you to see clearly
the light heartedness of a mind freed from vain striving
a journey, set out on the road of eternity
face to face with the spirit world
The spirit enlivening all mortality
the beginning of freedom
the beginning of true everlasting transparency.
