I am open like a book
before Thee,
a book filled with earthly measures,
a book filled with flowers of youth.
Alda Merini
Rose, oh pure contradiction,
joy of being No-one’s sleep,
under so many lids.
Rainer Maria Rilke
An ancient text says that God is a circle whose centre is everywhere
but whose circumference is nowhere.
The circle has a divine relationship, and since ancient times it represents
eternity, as it has neither beginning nor end.
