Late Sayings


Blessed as well are the wounded but nonetheless kind,
     for they shall observe their own mending.

Blessed are those who shed their every anxious defense,
     for they shall obtain consolation.

Blessed are those whose sympathy throbs as an ache,
     for they shall see the end of suffering.

Blessed are those who do not presume,
     for they shall be surprised at every turn.

Blessed are those who seek the God in secret,
     for they shall know His very breath rising as a pulse.

Blessed moreover are those who refuse to judge,
     for they shall forget their own most grave transgressions.

Blessed are those who watch and pray, who seek and plead,
     for they shall see, and shall be heard.
