gateway of being: open your being, awaken,
learn then to be, begin to carve your face,
develop your elements, and keep your vision
keen to look at my face, as I at yours,
keen to look full at life right through to death,
faces of sea, of bread, of rock, of fountain
the spring of origin which will dissolve our faces
in the nameless face existence without face
the inexpressible presence of presences . . .
-Octavio Paz
