Background
A description of the experience
From Naked Song: Poems of Lalla
Your way of knowing is a private herb garden
enclose it with a hedge of meditation
and self discipline and helpfulness to others
Then everything you've done before
will be brought as a sacrifice
to the mother goddess
And each day, as you eat the herbs
the garden grows more bare and empty
Beautifully full of juice they come from the mother
causing many birth pains
Again and again, they wait at her door to enter
