Deliberation is born of joy,
like a bird from an egg.
Birds don't resemble eggs!
Think how different the hatching out is.
A white leathery snake egg, a sparrow's egg;
a quince seed, an apple seed: very different things
look similar at one stage.
These leaves, our bodily personalities, seem identical,
but the globe of soul fruit
we make,
each is elaborately
unique.
