Be complete in each thing. Put all you are Into the least of your acts. So too in each lake, with its lofty life, The whole moon shines. [14 February 1933] FERNANDO PESSOA
translated from the Portuguese
by richard zenith
Auguries of Innocence
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if theyre a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. RUMI
translated from the Persian
by coleman barks with john moyne
His fingers brought forth Spontaneous forms from nowhere. His mind Was meanwhile free and without concern With what he was doing. No application was needed His mind was perfectly simple And knew no obstacle. So, when the shoe fits The foot is forgotten, When the belt fits The belly is forgotten, When the heart is right For and against are forgotten. No drives no compulsions, No needs, no attractions: Then your affairs Are under control. You are a free man.
Easy is right. Begin right And you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy Is to forget the right way And forget that the going is easy. CHUANG-TZU
translated from the Chinese
by thomas merton
I buy my souls food Cook and eat it And set the empty pot in the corner. I warm my hands at the dying fire And lying down to rest Give God thanks. The mill of night whistles And from the moon-chimney Smoke rises, sign of hope. I eat what I earn Not yesterdays leftovers, And leave no grain for tomorrow. AMRITA PRITAM
translated from the Punjabi
by charles brasch with amrita pritam
Let your arrogance go, and look around inside. The blue sky opens out farther and farther, the daily sense of failure goes away, the damage I have done to myself fades, a million suns come forward with light, when I sit firmly in that world. I hear bells ringing that no one has shaken; inside love there is more joy than we know of; rain pours down, although the sky is clear of clouds; there are whole rivers of light. The universe is shot through in all parts by a single sort of love. How hard it is to feel that joy in all our four bodies! Those who hope to be reasonable about it fail. The arrogance of reason has separated us from that love.
With the word reason you already feel miles away. How lucky Kabir is, that surrounded by all this joy he sings inside his own little boat. His poems amount to one soul meeting another. These songs are about forgetting dying and loss. They rise above both coming in and going out. KABIR
translated from the Hindi
by robert bly
Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow. Illuminated in your infinite peace, a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head. But in you is the presence that will be, when all the stars are dead. RAINER MARIA RILKE
translated from the German
by stephen mitchell
The world asks of us only the strength we have and we give it. Then it asks more, and we give it. JANE HIRSHFIELD
I am water rushing to the wellhead, filling the pitcher until it spills. I am the patient gardener of the dry and weedy garden. I am the stone step, the latch, and the working hinge. I am the heart contracted by joy the longest hair, white before the rest. I am there in the basket of fruit presented to the widow. I am the musk rose opening unattended, the fern on the boggy summit.
I am the one whose love overcomes you, already with you when you think to call my name.
