without why






The Rose is without why
She blooms because she blooms
She does not care for herself
Asks not if she is seen.

***


The rose which here on earth is now perceived by me,
Has blossomed thus in God from all eternity.

it depends on you







If in your heart you make
a manger for his birth,
then God will once again
become a child on earth.

pure no-thing




.
God is pure no-thing,
concealed in now and here:
the less you reach for him,
the more he will appear.
