...We sense there is some sort of spirit that loves birds and animals, and the ants -
perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you in your mother's womb.

Is it logical you'd be walking around entirely orphaned now?

The truth is, you turned away yourself,
and decided to go into the dark alone.

Now you are tangled up in others, and have forgotten what you once knew
and that's why everything you do has some weird failure in it.

Kabir 'The Radiance' (13th century)
Translated by Robert Bly.
