\"\"<\/a>You say you are hunting your power
\nBut your power is hunting you.
\nI’ll go up to the mountain<\/em>, you say.
\nI’ll fast and live on seaweed
\nI’ll hang myself on a meat-hook
\nUnder the hot sun. I’ll give up sex
\nAnd wine and my sense of humor.
\n<\/em>What are you thinking of?
\nFor you to go hunting your power
\nIs as smart as the mouse hunting the cat.<\/p>\n

Go out in the garden any night
\nStep one inch outside the tame land
\nAnd you are near what you seek.
\nOpen the window of your soul
\nAny night and your guide may come in.
\nThe issue is whether you’ll run away
\nWhen you see what it is. To make sure
\nYou succeed, tether yourself like a goat
\nAt the edge of the tiger wood that breathes
\nRight beside your bed. He’ll come.<\/p>\n
