   I cannot dance, O Lord, Unless You lead me. If You wish me to leap joyfully, Let me see You dance and sing— Then I will leap into Love— And from Love into Knowledge, And from Knowledge into the Harvest, The sweetest Fruit beyond human sense. There I will stay with You, whirling.

   Jul 21, 2019 · A fish cannot drown in water by Mechthild of Magdeburg. English version by Jane Hirshfield. A fish cannot drown in water, A bird does not fall in air.
