Champagne

A moment
will come
when you will
taste the
champagne
that celebrates
the Cosmos of
adoration and delight
that is What Is.

It may be when,
after a period of
bewilderment,
you see that
what you must do
is spend a day
with the one who
has bewildered you,

dazzling them
with unadulterated
moonshine kindness
and affection
cleverly disguised as
one favor after another.

You will
be tempted
to turn it into
a Hallmark Moment,

and write yourself
a congratulatory
card,

as if you have
discovered
a cure
for bewilderment.

Resist.

Remind yourself
that bewilderment
is nothing but
thirst.

And there is plenty
of champagne
to go around.
