Blue Self-Existing
Monkey
The Magic of
Miracles
Dissolves both Time
and Space –
Proven laws
Break down and shift
Inciting wondrous Awe
Now we rise
With Love and Kindness
Into Creatures
Fourth Dimensional -
Where Miracles occur
Where Miracles occur
Upon Request -
Ceaselessly –
Forever.

CHUEN
Kin 251: Blue Self-Existing Monkey
I define in order to play
Measuring illusion
I seal the process of magic
With the self-existing tone of form
I am guided by the power of accomplishment.
We are all memory, remnants. Each one of us contains psychic fragments of previous worlds.*
