The First Marriage Poem: They say sometimes that a Man getting married feels like he is going to his execution. But a Man can go to a kind of execution that might save him. You can set up an Experiment at like 3 o’clock in the morning where you sit in super long meditation and annihilate yourself. It is like getting married but it is to God instead.

David Smith Poem January 26, 2019 All human souls who remain estranged from the divine Spouse are duhaginis, ‘ an unfortunate woman’ : one whose husband is dead or has deserted her Page 168, Kabir Vaudeville
