Don't Come In Uninvited

Don't come in uninvited. Don't even knock. Wait for me to appear in your heart's ambit For I am, after all, the wisdom of your own mind. I will tell you the combination to my safe, a secret which changes every day sometimes every hour and then every moment. This should not puzzle you. You are the lock, the locksmith and the key.
