“They thought I am a stone/ They thought I am a plant/ They thought I am an animal/…/They though I am a lunatic poet/ …/They thought I am a Muslim/…/They thought I am a Christian/…/ They thought I am a Hebrew/…/ They thought I am a Buddhist/ They thought I am an Ascetic /…/They thought I am an Astral Projection/ …/ They thought I am a Hologram/…/ But I am what “I am” A Neon Child”
The author realized there is “no one better than San Juan de la Cruz about the Dark Night of the Soul” and the necessity for us to “absorb the light/ feel the light!/ become light!”
