There are openings in our lives
of which we know nothing.
Through them
the belled herds travel at will,
long-legged and thirsty, covered with foreign dust.
- #JaneHirshfield, 'The Envoy'
of which we know nothing.

THE ENVOY
By #JaneHirshfield
One day in that room, a small rat.
Two days later, a snake.
Who, seeing me enter,
whipped the long stripe of his
body under the bed,
then curled like a docile house-pet.
I don’t know how either came or left.
Later, the flashlight found nothing.

"Let them not say: they did nothing."
In an age of silence, resistance is witness. No Kings. No idols. No submission — only the courage to speak, to act, to remember.

THE WORLD IS NO MORE THAN THE BELOVED'S SINGLE FACE
By #MirzaGhalib, tr. #JaneHirshfield
The world is no more than the beloveds single face;
in the desire of the One to know its own beauty,
we exist.

But they guard me, these small pains,
from growing sure
of myself and perhaps forgetting.

TO HEAR THE FALLING WORLD
By #JaneHirshfield
Only if I move my arm a certain way,
it comes back.
Or the way the light bends in the trees
this time of year,
so a scrap of sorrow, like a bird, lights on the heart.
I carry this in my body, seed
in an unswept corner, husk-encowled and seeming safe.

#Zen pretty much comes down to three things–
everything changes;
everything is connected;
pay attention.

The Earth today tilts one way, then another.
And yes, though all things change,
this night again will watch its fireflies…
Take nothing for granted,
you who were also opulent, a stung cosmos. - JaneHirshfield
