the bigger the prize.

I cannot nourish myself by the sufferings
and by the death of other creatures.
I refuse to do so, because I suffered
so painfully myself that I can feel
the pains of others by recalling
my own sufferings.

One's life has value so long as one attributes
value to the life of others, by means of love,
friendship, indignation and compassion.

Cleo Wade
Stå stilla i smärtan
rotad i det som är ljus i dig.
Låt svärdet gå genom dig.
Kanske det inte alls är ett svärd.
Kanske det är en stämgaffel.
Du blir en ton.
Du blir den musik du alltid
längtat efter att få höra.
Du visste inte att du var en sång.
Ylva Eggehorn
