Across the years, my drift into understanding has been like a hawk descending in glide,

one spiral after another, until I have landed where flight is no longer necessary. 

And my breakdown into peacehas been like a cliff standing up to the sea, until after all my suffer-ings,

I only long to join, until with each crumble, I utter, “Take me.” 

Now, my ability to give is ever increased by my acceptance of surrender,

like a dandelion finally giving way to the slightest gust of wind.

Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity

as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.
