Meditation

Love means to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals her heart, without knowing it, from various ills---a bird and a tree say to her: friend.
Then she wants to use herself and things so that they stand in the glow of ripeness.
It doesn't matter whether she knows what she serves: who serves best doesn't always understand.
