If He is the pearl,
the heart is His shell.

The shell does not show itself.
It stays closed on the sea floor.
What grows inside it
makes it precious.

What is not shown
is not counted as lost.

This chapter began with the heart,
and ends in the heart.

The traveler is there,
and so is the destination.

Whoever passes through this door
carries his heart with him.

A secret cannot be fully told.
It can be carried.
