What the World Really Is

What Is This Smile That Arises Spontaneously?

A spontaneous smile has been arising throughout our sessions. I wrote a short poem about it, and I wanted to share it as a way of expressing my question: where does this smile come from? Rupert says: ‘I hope you’re not going to ask me to comment on your poem. I wouldn’t dream of commenting on it. There’s nothing I could add to it. It’s exquisite. Absolutely exquisite. It’s beautiful. No more to say.’
