Abide in Me – don’t think about yourself.
Feel yourself as living earth in the hands of the Creator
Who does with you as it wishes.
That means rest in Me – be the breath of the Breather.
I also rest in you, rooted in the Holy One.
A branch doesn’t fruit when separated from its source.
You also won’t be able to heal, teach, create,
or do anything from your individual sense of self,
your isolated “I,” without being connected
through your love and desire in me.
Translation from the Aramaic of John 15:4 by
