Reach the Sun
I questioned the Wizard
that came halfway along my
path.
- How many hills are left to reach the Sun?
He wrinkled his nose, frowned
and said:
- Ask first how many lives are left to get there,
then I will answer.
Only God knows how to answer
that question,
because only He knows what
has not yet happened,
but remember that you will
only reach the Sun
whoever is on the same level
as the Creator.
Don't worry about the time
left,
because you will never know.
Don't suffer in advance.
Do worry about what you do
now.
You don't need to force
anything,
let it flow naturally.
Do what is expected of a
human being.
What is expected of a human
being? You will ask.
You are expected to act
following conscience.
Without going into further
ado
and summing it all up in a
simple sentence,
I will tell you: Do good,
which is the same as saying,
love our neighbours as
ourselves.
The more discord
The path will be longer and
more difficult.
We all want to reach the Sun,
don't we?
We all need light and warmth.
God is light and warmth.
How many of us under the
torrid sun
don't we shiver from the cold
and walk in darkness?
You have to let the Light
flood your soul!
