Anoint yourself with good oil

In an entropic universe
You exist
Bring ceremony
To your being
Lavish care
On the part of creation
That is temporarily yours
Honour your skin
With sensual caress
So that your hands may be practiced
For countless other creations
Human and not
Animate and not
Creation bowing to creation
Like children playing
Under the loving eye of the parent
Marvel at how fleeting
And captivating
You are
Like the sudden flash of a firefly
Carefully note
How each part is whole
Consecrate the physical embodiment
Of the divine
Let the oil
Seep into your being
Let the ambrosia remind
You are the seer and the seen
The worshipper and the worshipped
The same
One day
She may ask
About your prayer
Remind her
That her body
Is a place of worship
As is yours
Where god experiences god
There is no separation
