In some languages, illusion
also means "happiness."
Many, in fact, seek it
for its own sake.
I think my mother
believed in it.
I, though, had to look
behind the curtain
to the other side.
I am still looking,
still looking
beyond maya,
for something
more.

The Body Is a World (+fr, es, pt, Udugi)
The body is a world
that we inhabit,
but only one
of many.
Le corps est un monde
que nous habitons,
mais un seul
de nombreux.
El cuerpo es un mundo
que habitamos,
pero solo uno
de muchos.
O corpo é um mundo
que habitamos,
mas apenas um
de muitos.
