In the spirit of Rumi - 14

I will create you,
I shall name you;

I will show you happiness; then
I shall show you sorrow;

I will show you sorrow; then
I shall show you happiness;

and in the one, you shall know
the more about the other;

I will show you rest; and
I shall show you restlessness;

and in experiencing one,
you shall know more of the other;

I will show you all that is old; and
I shall surprise you with all that seems new;

I will show you the Unchanging and Eternal, and
I shall show you the changing and the impermanent;

and when you have tasted both of these
you will know more of Me;

I will have you taste the One;
I shall have you taste the many;

and when you have tasted both of these
you shall know more of Me;

I shall show you every opposite that you or I can name,
for I am, all opposites;

and when you have known all opposites
you will know Me beyond all opposites;

I will show you love, and
I shall show you lack of love;

and knowing these, you will become
all the more the loving; and

although you will forget my love for you,
I shall never cease to love myself in you; and

although you will deny your love for Me, or that I exist,
I shall never cease to love myself in you;
