Das
Auge, in dem ich Gott sehe, das ist dasselbe Auge, darin mich Gott
sieht; mein Auge und Gottes Auge, das ist ein Auge und ein Sehen und
ein Erkennen und ein Lieben.
Eckhart von Hochheim

I would leave everything here: the
valleys, the hills, the paths, and the jaybirds from the gardens, I
would leave here the petcocks and the padres, heaven and earth, spring
and fall, I would leave here the exit routes, the evenings in the
kitchen, the last amorous gaze, and all of the city-bound directions
that make you shudder, I would leave here the thick twilight falling
upon the land, gravity, hope, enchantment, and tranquillity, I would
leave here those beloved and those close to me, everything that touched
me, everything that shocked me, fascinated and uplifted me, I would
leave here the noble, the benevolent, the pleasant, and the demonically
beautiful, I would leave here the budding sprout, every birth and
existence, I would leave here incantation, enigma, distances,
inexhaustibility, and the intoxication of eternity; for here I would
leave this earth and these stars, because I would take nothing with me
from here, because I’ve looked into what’s coming, and I don’t need
anything from here.
