AND IF SUDDENLY IN A FLASH
And if suddenly in a flash
I were to realize You,
would I be like a person
born without sight,
who after surgery
awakens to a new world
of blinding Light
and finds himself
incapable of functioning,
unable to distinguish
boundaries that alone
make living possible?
A “gross world”
in which everything is
simply a separate object,
is itself untenable,
and so we conceive
patterns of harmony
which lift us into
an intuitive perception
of greater unity.
Yet absolute Oneness,
try as I might,
I can’t conceive!
Thankfully, my job now
is just to follow You.
