READING READINESS
Can you read Hebrew? she asked
As she opened herself
Like the Torah.
Do you understand Arabic? she asked
As she opened herself
Like the Koran.
Do you speak English? she asked
As she opened herself
Like the King James Bible.
Do you happen to know Latin?
As she opened herself
Like the Summa Theologica.

Nice Nick.
Can you read sanskrit? She asked herself as she opened Patanjali. Yogaham chitta vritti narodaham.
"The quiet mind communes with the mhigher self."
Can uou read Persian, she asked herself as she opened herself like a reed on Rumi's shore. "The reed made into a flute issues a plaintive cry for the ultimate."

Sprechen sie Deutsch? fragte sie
Als sie sich wie Goethes Faust öffnete.
Can you read Koine Greek, she asked, as she opened herself to Esau's statement:
uakapiooi ptokoc pveuuati estin gen basiliei ouravoc
"Get out of your own way and see the kingdom of heaven within you."
