To begin

Translation Canon Tony Dickinson

 

To begin

By setting down

One’s day

 

On a sheet

Of silence.

 

To go down

To the depths

of self,

 

Below

The words,

In this place

Without place

 

Where the meeting

Is announced.

 

To want nothing

Except

To be there,

 

In the opening

To what comes.

 

To let oneself

Do

And undo

With the pulsing

Of the ephemeral

 

Until that

Kneeling

Of the inner

 

Which signals

True prayer.
