Spiegel im Spiegel


Inspired by Arvo Pärt’s musical composition

and by the poetry of Mary Oliver‍


mirror in mirror

reflecting

this

simplest

‍ deepest

‍ most mysterious

             ordinary

                    truth:

that all this life

and all this world

‍ ‍

is pain

and that shot through

the very center of it

‍ ‍ like a spear piercing

the beating heart

of eternity

is love.
