Two sides of a mirror

If you want what visible reality
can give, you’re an employee.

If you want the unseen world,
you’re not living your truth.

Both wishes are foolish,
but you’ll be forgiven for forgetting
that what you really want is
love’s confusing joy.

My work is like a diary. To understand it,

you have to see how it mirrors life.
