Back Into Herself
...............................
A billion times God has turned man
Into Himself.
You stand in line for the
Highest gift
For His generosity cannot end.
But best to bring an instrument along
While waiting in the cold desert
And make some dulcet sounds
To accompany the palms' swaying arms
That are casting silhouettes
Against the sky's curtain
>From our fire.
Remind the Friend of your desire
And great patience.
A billion times God has turned man
Back into Herself.
We all stand in line
For the highest
Gift.
--Hafiz
(14 th century)
take a cherry tree,
break it apart and you will find
no blossoms.
blossoms come to bloom
out of the empty springtime sky.
--zeami
(japanese, 1363-1443)
