red shift?

Oh well! Since things seem to be moving at the speed of light here, perhaps I might as well toss this one onto the fire, too, and see what comes of it. This is by one of my teachers called Künzang Dechen Lingpa.
The (m05) whossname at the end is simply to indicate that I did the translation, and that I did it this year. Sort of copyright, so to speak.

For the sublime Künzang Lhadrön

It's like this: All phenomena of the world of appearances and possibilities, be they of cyclic existence or of ultimate peace,
Utterly transcend the extremes of either having or not having substantial existence.
No matter what manifests or how you perceive it, its inherent nature is that of a magical illusion
And clinging to it as actually possessing material characteristics is simply the error of wishful thinking.
Beyond acceptance or rejection, just remain in an uncontrived and effortless state of total relaxation.
Even if the waves that are the self–expression of the vast and swirling expanse of the ocean of ultimate reality
Should rise up to stream through the very heavens,
They never depart from being the nature of the great ocean itself.
