In the mountain, stillness surges up
to explore its own height;
In the lake, movement stands still
to contemplate its own depths.
~ "Fireflies" by Rabindranath Tagore
Think in ways you've never thought before.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
Larger than anything you've ever heard,
Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.
...When someone knocks on the door, think that he's about
To give you something large: tell you you're forgiven,
Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, or that it's
Been decided that if you lie down no one will die.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message

...When someone knocks on the door, think that he's about
To give you something large: tell you you're forgiven,
Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, or that it's
