Self Portrait by David WhyteIt doesn't interest me if there is one God
or many gods.
or many gods.
I want to know if you belong
or feel abandoned.
If you can know despair or see it in others
If you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need to change you,
If you can look back with firm eyes saying
"This is where I stand."
or feel abandoned.
If you can know despair or see it in others
If you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need to change you,
If you can look back with firm eyes saying
"This is where I stand."
I want to know if you know how to melt
into that fierce heat of living
falling toward the center of your longing
If you are willing to live day by day
with the consequence of love and the bitter unwanted passion
of your sure defeat.
with the consequence of love and the bitter unwanted passion
of your sure defeat.
I have heard in that fierce embrace
even the gods speak of God.

Autoretrato - de David Whyte
No me importa si hay un Dios
No me importa si hay un Dios
o muchos dioses.
Quiero saber si tu perteneces a aquí
Quiero saber si tu perteneces a aquí
o te sientes abandonado.
Si puedes conocer la desesperanza o verla en otros.
Si estás preparado para vivir en el mundo
con su violenta necesidad de cambiarte,
Si puedes mirar atrás con ojos firmes
diciendo "Aquí es donde estoy".
Quiero saber si tú sabes como derretirte en ese calor intenso,
de vivir cayendo hacia el centro de tu deseo.
Si deseas vivir día a día, con la consecuencia del amor y la amargura de la pasión no deseada
de tu derrota segura.
He oído que en ese intenso abrazo, hasta los dioses hablan de Dios.
