I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial
tower.
I've been circling for thousands of
years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?

God, translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy)
