The dead touch upon the living sleeping, who in turn touch upon the living waking. Those who are awake live in the same world, while those who are asleep withdraw to their own private worlds. The sleeper who closes his eyes is close to the dead. Darkness, the opposite of daylight, is the great concealer. It takes back what the day gives.
Day is the opening and night is the closing of the same world.
They are open to what opens up and what is opened up, what lights up and what is lit up. To awaken is to meet the dawn, to rise up to greet what is itself rising. The sun is new each day. And the waking ones see the connection of it all. What the truly seeing perceive is that the visible kosmos of day and the invisible kosmos of night are the same kosmos .
