Rambodoc at large

I got this in some mail some time, but I like the thoughts which comfort a soul in troubled times:

When your eyes are tired
The world is tired also.

When your vision is gone
No part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.

There you can be sure
You are not beyond love.

The dark will be your womb
Tonight.

The night will give you a horizon
Further than you can see.

You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the worlds
except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn

anything or anyone
that doesn’t bring you alive

is too small for you.
