Now I Know
Now I Know
...pretty much who I am.
Next week
it'll be Thursday again,
and though I may not be
exactly the same then,
I'll bet I'm close to it.
It's taken a few years,
but at last I've come to know
pretty much who I am.
More and more often,
I find myself letting go
of who I thought I was
or one day have to become.
This past Monday
I think I heard my soul
out singing in the rain.
Now that's new.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
~ Meister Eckhart
