by St. Teresa of Avila
from Love Poems from God, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
Most men in power have not the strength or wisdom
to be satisfied with the way
things are.
The sane know contentment, for beauty is their lover,
and beauty is never absent from this world.
The farther away from light is one's touch
the more one naturally speaks of the
need for change.
Yes, overthrow any government inside
that makes you weep.
The child blames the external and focuses his energies there;
the warrior conquers the realms within
and becomes
gifted.
Only the inspired should make decisions
that affect the lives of many,
Never a man who has not held God in his arms
and becomes the servant
of unity.
