Meditation

Marta Marto

"My gaze is as clear as a sunflower. My gaze is as clear as a sunflower. I have the habit of walking along the roads Looking to the right and to the left, And from time to time looking back... And what I see at each moment Is what I had never seen before, And I know how to appreciate it very well... I know how to have the essential wonder That a child has if, upon being born, It noticed that it had truly been born... I feel born at every moment For the eternal novelty of the World... I believe in the World as in a daisy, Because I see it. But I don't think about it Because to think is not to understand... The World was not made for us to think about it (To think is to be sick in the eyes) But for us to look at it and be in agreement... I have no philosophy: I have senses... If I speak of Nature it is not because I know what it is, But because I love it, and I love it for that reason, Because whoever loves never knows what they love Nor knows why they love, nor what love is... To love is eternal innocence, And the only innocence is not to think..
