Inspired by the poem “Traduzir-se” by Ferreira Gullar
A part of me acts.
Another part of me watches.
A part of me wavers.
Another part of me balances.
A part of me confronts.
Another part of me harmonizes.
A part of me does not see.
Another part of me contemplates.
A part of me is myself.
Another part of me is pure Love.
When I finally realize that I am not two,
but One,
this binary rhythm breaks down.
Then, my self dissolves into the
Whole,
which is above and below,
inside and outside,
small and vast
– in all places and within every being.
Transfigured into pure cosmic consciousness,
I simply know that I am and exist in the One.
And in this eternal being and existence,
all selves become and exist in God.
