The Gateless Gate

​

Welcome to the new, my good friends.

Welcome to that grand old flame within.

It's burning like gold!

- burning brightly at the Gateless Gate

between old lives and new.

​

Embrace the new with emptiness.

Don't go worrying 'bout who you were.

Trust in now, stay open to the new!

​

Everything that ever was,

in this moment behold!

Now, let it go again, 

remember now again.

Be new!

​

Your interpretation, well,

please don't believe that's you.

Let it go again,

remember now again.

Be new!

 

Every moment be a new you

(Welcome to the new, my good friends) 

No need to worry or to work it out.

(Welcome to that grand old flame within)

Letting go of who you think you are

(It's burning like gold!)

you leave your bag of complications

(Burning brightly)

at the Gateless Gate

between old lives and new.

​

Embrace the new!

Don't go worrying 'bout who you were.

Trust in now, 

stay open to the new!

​

We're intimate, but even more,

there's nothing separate at all about us.

Now, let it go again,

remember now again.

Be new!

​

Time for loving in this new now!

A little wisdom wouldn't go amiss!

Find compassion too.

(Same old journey in the same old boat)

to the Gateless Gate

between old lives and new.

......

​

Your interpretation, well,

please don't believe that's you.

Let it go again,

remember now again.

Be new!
