Day 304 of Year 2 (Actually Day 309)

This poem touched me today:

This Is the Dream
By Olav Hauge, Trans. Bly & Hedin

This is the dream we carry through the world
that something fantastic will happen
that it has to happen
that time will open by itself
that doors shall open by themselves
that the heart will find itself open
that mountain springs will jump up
that the dream will open by itself
that we one early morning
will slip into a harbor
that we have never known.

We all think like this poem and hope. But true change often comes in reverse from the inside out. When the outside world will not budge we can still transform inside.
