Teotl Shining Through

Teotl is the shining gold light above everything Wearing a mask of white and grey clouds Teotl is the breath and wind of all seen and unseen Greeting all who return to its arms Split a piece of wood, hear a heart pulsating within Lift a rock, smell fine incense burning Open up a flower bud, see threads interlacing Know the turquoise snake shedding its skin Be reborn as a splendid tlamatini Remaining on the straight narrow road Be a passer-by on the slippery land of mud Walking between maguey and thorns Walking towards the golden light shining above clouds Poem inspired by Saying 77 of the Gospel of Thomas combined with Aztec philosophy (especially the concept of "Teotl")
