God knits man
in his mother’s womb,
slowly and wisely.
Art should be born
in a similar way.
God knits man
in his mother’s womb,
slowly and wisely.
Art should be born
in a similar way.
We shouldn’t grieve
because of writing little and poorly,
but because we pray little and poorly,
and lukewarmly,
and live in the wrong way.
Everyone who drinks of this water
will be thirsty again,
but whoever drinks of the water
that I will give him
will never be thirsty again.
The water that I will give him
will become in him a spring of water
welling up to eternal life.
