10: Cultivating the Mind and Spirit


Can you keep your crescent soul from wandering

Can you make your breath as soft as a baby’s

Can you wipe your dark mirror free of dust

Can you serve and govern without effort

Can you be the female at Heaven’s Gate

Can you light the world without knowledge

Can you give birth and nurture

But give birth without possessing

Raise without controlling

This is Dark Virtue
