Do not rush so that you will not be overtaken

Do not rush so that you will not be overtaken during this time,
but stop for the eternal times
that are awaiting spring within you.

For in yourself you are the child’s eye of a flowing stream,
and not just a raging river
tearing the banks for the sake of its own name –
until it allows the child’s eye of each of us to see
and not just know for the eye of its own eye.

For it is not the eye that sees your life,
but the eye that you allowed to see
so that it could see you.
