Day 91 of Year 2 (Actually Day 92)
I was thinking of many things to say about this print, but when I sat down to the computer, I realized nothing more needed to be said than the poem below. Perhaps my thoughts need another night to mature? Timing is everything. One of the greatest lessons of the studio is listening, when to wait, when to stop, and when to close the computer and call it a night! 😊 . xoxo
Effortlessly
by Mechthild of Magdeburg, Trans. Jane Hirshfield
Effortlessly,
Love flows from God into man,
Like a bird
Who rivers the air
Without moving her wings.
Thus we move in His world
One in body and soul,
Though outwardly separate in form.
As the Source strikes the note,
Humanity sings —
The Holy Spirit is our harpist,
And all strings
Which are touched in Love
Must sound.
