    I wonder
    from these thousand of "me's",
    which one am I?
    Listen to my cry, do not drown my voice
    I am completely filled with the thought of you.
    Don't lay broken glass on my path
    I will crush it into dust.
    I am nothing, just a mirror in the palm of your hand,
    reflecting your kindness, your sadness, your anger.
    If you were a blade of grass or a tiny flower
    I will pitch my tent in your shadow.
    Only your presence revives my withered heart.
    You are the candle that lights the whole world
    and I am an empty vessel for your light.

    If you are seeking, seek us with joy
    For we live in the kingdom of joy.
    Do not give your heart to anything else
    But to the love of those who are clear joy,
    Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
    For there are hopes: they are real, they exist –
    Do not go in the direction of darkness –
    I tell you: suns exist.

    If we come to sleep
    we are His drowsy ones
    And if we come to wake
    we are in His hands

    If we come to weeping
    we are His cloud full of raindrops
    And if we come to laughing
    we are His lightning in that moment

    If we come to anger and battle
    it is the reflection of His wrath
    And if we come to peace and pardon
    it is the reflection of His love

    Who are we in this complicated world?

    Jika sepuluh orang ingin memasuki sebuah rumah,
    dan hanya sembilan yang menemui jalan masuk,
    yang kesepuluh tidak harus mengatakan,
    Ini sudah takdir TUHAN.
    Ia harus mencari di mana kekurangannya.

    We watch a sunlight dust dance,
    and we try to be that lively,
    but nobody knows what music those particles hear.

    Each of us has a secret companion musician to dance to.
    Unique rhythmic play, a motion in the street we alone know and hear.

    one glance
