Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has put up a swing:all earth creatures, even the supernovas, sway between these two trees,and it never winds down.Angels, animals, humans, insects by the million, also the wheeling sun and moon;ages go by, and it goes on.Everything is swinging: heaven, earth, water, fire,and the secret one slowly growing a body.Kabir saw that for fifteen seconds, and it made him a servant for life.

-- from The Enlightened Heart: An Anthology of Sacred Poetry
