To Feel Overcome

 

 

 

 

 

"Waiting For The Hammer To Fall"

“May I disappear,” wrote Simone Weil.
“When I am in any place, I disturb the silence
of heaven and earth by my breathing and the beating
of my heart.” That is what I am searching for:
the chance to merge into the wild drift
of the world, to feel overcome,
to enter into its weft so
completely that
sometimes I can forget
myself. But that is a lofty goal
when I can barely shift
my mind into
motion."
