The horses have nowhere left to go,
and the riders are only whinnying.
For the horses have arrived,
and the riders are exhausted
before their own mirrors –
mirrors of exhausted horses.
Do not trouble yourself with the double that dwells within your heart
Do not trouble yourself with the double
that dwells within your heart,
for you are the measure of the One
through everything around you.
When the First One becomes the measure of the One through you,
you will no longer be alone.
The end is falling into the beginning
The end is falling into the beginning,
and everyone is rushing to change everything,
not knowing that it is the end of their own beginning
in spirit, soul, and body.
And among us is the Kingdom of God, with open doors,
waiting for the exiles.
There for here, here for there
I am no longer there, I am here.
I am no longer here, I am there.
For I was there for here,
and here for there.
To sprout and bloom in the Lord
This world –
which exists before it is,
in the cross of rear-view mirrors,
where time flows through space
and space ripens in time –
awaits the seeds of its flowers:
the negative of a certain positive
that could cover the cross of all other seeds,
trapped in the bags of their own negative,
so that it might sprout and bloom in the Lord,
and not wither like the cut flowers of the Sistine Chapel,
without seeds.
Wherever it falls, it falls
We are approaching the time of
“wherever it falls, it falls.”
In bocca al lupo,
if you live for yourself in the time of one another;
and crepi il lupo in each other’s place,
where only joy falls from the sky.
Liberation from one’s own face
One will be freed from their own face.
Another will be bound to the face of their face.
The spirit of the spirit that extinguishes
You are no longer the soul of the soul
nor the body of the body,
but only the spirit of the spirit that extinguishes
and gives birth to the souls and bodies of the devoted.
The last dance of God’s day within you
Only you, Presence,
dance the last dance of God’s day within you –
the day reflected upon the surface of the night sky –
for your day in the Lord has come to an end,
and the thirteenth hour has arrived.
But when the twenty-fourth hour within you is done,
you will no longer be able to stand or endure;
you will only know
that you were not born to live for yourself,
but so that others may live.
Only through the Lord are you right-handed
…you are left-handed in soul and in body;
only through the Lord are you right-handed.
